You wouldn't know that the TR6 was launched fifty years ago. With its engine, which produces 123 to 143 hp depending on the country specification, it is still fast on the road today, country roads and winding roads suit it perfectly and the sound of the six-cylinder engine is beguiling. An uncapricious roadster, affordable to buy and maintain and thoroughly British. This driving report tells its brief history and shows it in many new and historical pictures. A brochure and a sound sample are also included.
Triumph was able to sell around 100,000 TR 6 sports cars. Even more were sold of the TR 7, although this car was under a bad star at the beginning: strikes and shoddy work delayed production; when the various teething troubles had been cured, the value of the dollar - and thus the American market - collapsed. This spelled the end for the Triumph company. This report tells the story of the TR 7 model and shows it in many illustrations and four sales brochures.
When the Triumph TR 7 appeared in 1975, it was hardly reminiscent of its predecessors TR 2 to TR 6, because as a self-supporting, wedge-shaped coupé, it was clearly different from its roadster predecessors. But it made its way and eventually became the most successful TR model ever. This report portrays a late model with a virgin 1300 km on the clock and shows the car in historical photos and in several sales brochures.
