The Triumph TR6 (1968-1976) is a sports car built by the British Triumph Motor Company between 1968 and 1976. It was the sales champion of the TR line when production ended, a record subsequently surpassed by the TR7. Of the 91,850 TR6 produced, 83,480 were exported; only 8,370 were sold in the UK.
The body was generally similar to the TR4 / TR5, but the front and rear ends were square, allegedly as a result of a consultancy contract involving Karmann.
