Description
Triumph TR6 Magenta
Triumph gradually updated their TR range throughout the 1960s adding independent rear suspension to create the TR4A in 1965, then slotting in a smooth 6-cylinder engine to produce the TR5 in 1967.
By then, however, the attractive Michelotti-styled body looked dated so German coachbuilders Karmann were tasked with modernising it. The resultant more muscular 1969 TR6, which featured new panels front and rear but retained the TR5 base-unit and doors, was immediately successful.
The TR6 was produced until July 1976 and 91,850 examples of the last separate-chassis TR were built, making it the most numerous of a family started by the 1953 TR2
