In keeping with TR tradition the TR6 changed little from the TR5 except in respect to feel and appearance. The inner body structure was retained and a new set of outer panels designed. No changes were made to the engine although there were minor changes to the suspension. Until production ceased in 1976 there were few changes; chrome bumpers grew rubber over-riders, the engine's compression ratio dropped less than one point and a few gauges were altered. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, specification and technical data, driver's impressions, use car profile, restoration.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent historical information,

This review is from: Triumph TR6 1969-76 Gold Portfolio (Paperback)
While it was disappointing to see that the photos and text in the book are poor copies, the information it contains is really priceless, especially if you own a TR6. It has enough comparisions and detailed descriptions that if you're restoring one, or keeping one running the references here are very valuable.
Also the contemporary magazine reviews are an historical novelty. It's wonderful to see how the critics recieved the six. Like all great cars of the '60s and '70s, the critics had no idea they were sitting on a classic. If you can get over the poor type and photos, you'll certainly appreciate the substance.
