1975 Triumph TR6 Convertible

With all the other cars being posted, I had to post this, because this one is my favorite cars of all time. I have loved them ever since I saw one while I was in college.

Beautiful car. I had an MGA, an MGB and a TR3. I spent more time under them than I did inside them, but there's nothing like the feeling of driving one.

One of my all time favorite cars, that, and the Spitfire 1500

I had a '72 spitfire 1500 when I was 19 or 20. Wish so much I still had it. Traded it for a jeep.

I always loved these but never got to ride in or drive one.

I'd love to have a few cars my dad had before I was born, a '56 Porsche and a Sunbeam Alpine. drool0

 

[Deep Eddy]

Agreed. It would be cool if a car company that knows how to build reliable cars (such as Honda or Toyota, etc.. . ) would build a reissue of these.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Dad had one of these, and a spitfire at one time. Really cool.

A friend of mine had one. It was an absolute blast when it was running. Which wasn't very often.

 

[mongooz]

always wanted a TR-6, or TR4A......i did have a '72 MGB twin carb back in the late 70's. it was a fun car.....but the electrics were always wonky and the clutches didn't last for shit.

My dad nearly bought one when I was a teenager...I thought he was an idiot for not getting it. I would have had some many chicks digging me if he would let me drive it.

:P

Those old British sports cars were so much fun to drive. My first car was an Austin Healey Sprite. It looked like this stock photo from google.

When dad was in college he had an MG TD. Family stories say he used to drive to band practice with his doghouse bass sticking out behind the seats. (The bass was almost bigger than the car). Anyway that was long gone by the time I came around. I wish I could have seen it.

Back in 86, when I was 16, I launched my brother's absolutely beautiful 1978 Spitfire 1500 off of a 90' embankment going 75mph with the top down and no seat belt.


The fact that I am still here is a miracle. The car didn't fare so well.

I am sure your brother was none too pleased.....

He wasn't.


Years later, I bought him an identical replacement, which he kept for a few years until the electrics went wonky.

Glad you're here to tell the story!

Thanks.

I nearly wasn't.

Love it. I particularly liked the forest green ones.
