Triumph TR6 + Overdrive '75

• 1975 Triumph TR6, iconic British roadster with a powerful 2.5-litre straight-six engine
• Four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, ideal for comfortable touring
• Timeless body design by German coachbuilder Karmann
• Elegant dark blue finish with professionally restored bodywork and interior
• Belgian registration documents, maintenance invoices and Car-Pass included

The Triumph TR6 is one of the most beloved British sports cars of the 1960s and 1970s. Introduced in 1968 as the successor to the TR5 and TR250, it remained in production until 1976. With its powerful six-cylinder engine, traditional rear-wheel drive and distinctive open-top bodywork, the TR6 became one of the most successful models in the Triumph TR range.

The TR6 was styled by German coachbuilder Karmann, which modernised the existing TR5 design with redesigned front and rear sections. Its clean lines, long bonnet and wide stance gave the car a sporty yet timeless appearance, while retaining the traditional character of a British roadster.

Under the bonnet lies a 2,498 cc straight-six engine, renowned for its smooth power delivery and distinctive engine note. The TR6 was available in several versions, including the European model with Lucas fuel injection and the American version equipped with carburettors. The latter was specifically adapted to American emissions regulations and accounted for the majority of production.

A particularly attractive feature of this example is its four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. This system provides a higher gear ratio at cruising speeds, reducing engine revs and improving driving comfort. The combination of the six-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive and overdrive makes the TR6 equally enjoyable for spirited driving and relaxed touring.

Between 1968 and 1976, approximately 94,600 Triumph TR6s were produced, with the vast majority destined for export markets. The TR6 became one of Triumph's most commercially successful roadsters and remains a highly regarded classic in British sports car history.

This 1975 example is finished in an elegant dark blue colour and has undergone a professional restoration. According to the inspection report, the bodywork presents well and has been repainted, showing normal signs of use. The interior has also been restored and features carpets in very good condition and a convertible hood in good condition.

Mechanically, the car is generally in good condition. The engine presents an honest, well-maintained appearance, and recent work has been carried out. The clutch, gearbox, overdrive, brakes and electrical system function correctly. A few points require attention, including the handbrake adjustment, battery and worn differential mounting bushes.

The car is offered with Belgian registration documents, maintenance invoices and a Car-Pass.

With its timeless British roadster styling, powerful 2.5-litre straight-six engine, manual gearbox with overdrive and professional restoration, this 1975 Triumph TR6 is a particularly attractive classic. Its elegant dark blue finish and accompanying documentation make it an appealing choice for enthusiasts seeking an authentic British driving experience.
