1971 Triumph TR6 Convertible

The Triumph TR6 is a sports car that was built by the Triumph Motor Company of England. While production began several months earlier, the TR6 was officially introduced in January as a 1969 model year vehicle. The last TR6 was produced on the 20th of July 1976. Of the 91,850 TR6s produced, 83,480 were exported, almost all of them to the United States, while only 8,370 were sold in the UK. The styling of the body of the TR6 was done by Karmann of Germany. While small changes occurred to the TR6 during its production run, the basic shape and styling cues of the TR6 remained unchanged from beginning to end. There’s something special about a classic British sports car that has spent years in the Chicagoland area, and this 1971 Triumph TR6 has built just that kind of history. It has been part of the local car scene for approximately the past 10 years, giving it a genuine connection to the area, plenty of opportunity to be enjoyed as it was intended and primarily cared for by Northshore Sportscars Finished in a distinctive green, the TR6 presents with a driver-quality exterior that shows the character expected of a well-loved vintage sports car. The paint is above average for its age, with a good overall appearance that presents nicely from a few feet away while still retaining the honest personality of a car that has been driven and enjoyed. Rather than being a museum piece hidden away under a cover, this TR6 has the look and feel of a classic that has remained part of someone's automotive life. Its Chicagoland history, traditional British styling, and six-cylinder roadster character come together to make it an appealing example for someone looking to enjoy a vintage Triumph without the expectations or pretense of a concours restoration. The 1971 model year represents a particularly appealing era for the TR6, combining the unmistakable long-hood British sports-car profile with the personality that has made the model a favorite among Triumph enthusiasts for decades. After roughly 10 years in the Chicagoland area, this green TR6 is ready for its next chapter. It offers the kind of honest, driver-quality presentation that makes a classic car enjoyable to own, drive, and continue improving over time.
