To modernise the Triumph TR5 that had evolved from the Michelotti designed TR4, Triumph looked to produce a new modern body. Triumph commissioned Karmann of Germany who had helped build some of the Porsche 356 bodies, but the task was difficult as Karmann had to produce a new body style whilst retaining much of the original structure. The re-style included a new nose, wings and a new tail. The result was the 'Kamm' tailed TR6 and was produced between 1969 and 1976.

The home market TR6 initially produced 150bhp but was later detuned to 125bhp. Due to their greater power output, the early models are sought after amongst the Triumph enthusiasts. This fabulous Triumph TR6 with Pimento red exterior paint and black soft-top. The overall condition is excellent with good paintwork and a contrasting tan interior. Added extras when built included disc wheels, overdrive, static seat belts, heater and Dunlop sport tires. This TR6 is completely original with the custom stainless exhaust and walnut steering wheel. Well presented and well documented, this Triumph is exactly what a quality example should be.
