Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1973 Triumph TR6, finished in a bold red exterior with a warm tan leather interior. This TR6 has all the right ingredients of a classic British roadster: a long hood, short rear deck, 4-speed manual transmission, open-air driving, and a simple cockpit built around the driver.
Under the hood is a rebuilt 2.5L inline 6-cylinder engine with approximately 2,000 miles since the refresh. The engine has been updated with a new distributor with electronic ignition, a stock grind camshaft, an aluminum valve cover, a cold air intake, and freshly tuned carburetors with new floats, needles, and jets. Helping keep things cool is a Wizard Cooling aluminum radiator with a chrome shroud, along with an electric fan and manual override. The oil pressure gauge line has also been replaced with a braided hose.
The 4-speed manual transmission gives this TR6 the engaging feel that makes these cars so enjoyable to drive. The clutch system has been refreshed with a new clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, fork, master cylinder, and slave cylinder. The original-style cardboard transmission tunnel has also been replaced with ABS, adding a nice durability-minded upgrade beneath the interior.
Inside, the cabin has seen plenty of attention while still keeping its classic British sports car feel. It features a replaced woodgrain dashboard, new carpet kit, Miata seat conversion with new skins and speakers, a Kenwood radio, wind blocker, and new seat belts. The tan interior pairs nicely with the red exterior and gives the car a clean, comfortable, and driver-focused look.
This TR6 also benefits from suspension updates, including new front springs, ball joints, bushings, front shocks, sway bar bushings, and end links. Out back, it has new rear springs and bushings as well. A Robbins convertible top adds to the overall presentation, while the Coker red line tires help complete the period-style appearance.
With its rebuilt inline-six, 4-speed manual transmission, refreshed interior components, upgraded cooling system, updated suspension, Robbins convertible top, and classic red-over-tan color combination, this 1973 Triumph TR6 is a fun, sharp-looking roadster with plenty of character and thoughtful improvements throughout.
