The Triumph
TR 6 was the continuation of the TR2 to TR5 series. At the end of the
1960s, Triumph was incorporated in the British Leyland concern. As the
Austin Healey was no longer manufactured and as the sales of the TR5s
declined, the need of a new roadster was felt.
The TR 5’s bodywork was given to Karmann in Osnabruck for improvement.
They made alterations to the wings and to the front and rear ends of the
car, which was originally designed by Michelotti.
