1972 "Buttascotch" TR6NIT 

We Thank You unique relationship between Man & Machine we like each other. My 1st only & last TR6 makes demands of me, keep clean looking like a trailer queen, mechanically well maintained, in return I get to Drive It like I own it, when, where & as often as I like as of 8/8/23 2gether 44+ yrs 392,980 miles in pursuit of minimum 1/2 million on same TR6 www.flickr.com/photos/picsbyjulius/albums/72157633108538417

A spectacular example of a stylish sports car. The Union Jacks on the rear quarters do seem a tad overenthusiastic. Were they an export option? The original chrome and enamel badges are still available.

@@greghill7759 Agree nothing like 'em. Early OEM TR6 ('69-'72) came with TR6 lettering on rear quarter panel same as UK depending on colour black or white '73-'76 & those shipped to the USA sported the Union Jack/TR6 rear quarter badging. Changed out during 1990 respray to Union Jack matter of personal taste TR6 encased between Union Jack then too somewhat of a symbolism for those that may wonder, driving British Iron in the USA. Yes you still can hunt/find enamel badges from British parts vendors

@@UCwp7q5nfJxOXx4txsSFGood enough, sir. Thanks for the reply and drive safely!

The British flag decal appeared on NA spec cars beginning in 1973. Before that NA spec cars carried the open block letter TR6 like the home market cars. By the time 1973 rolled around Triumph knew they weren’t going to bring out a new sports model and they needed another few years out of the TR6. The interior was given new cosmetics. Externally the chin spoiler apppear and the Union Jack on the rear panels. It stood for 20 years of TR, 50 years of Triumph and was so popular, they kept it for the remainder of the run in 1976.

We Thank You 44+ yrs 392,982 miles Driving period is a joy/pleasure only comparable thought I entertain my interpretation of what TR6 means to me, Well Kept & Clean, Drive it! Routine Mechanical Maintenance, Upgrades makes it definitely 1 of a kind www.flickr.com/photos/picsbyjulius/albums/72157633108538417

Thanks James neither did I when purchased in 1979 my intent Keep It Clean & Drive It proof in the puddin' possibility of TR6 the Glory Still Exists!

According to the federal HESCHLAVVO law, it is already forbidden in Switzerland to drive combustion engines on mountain passes from 2025. In France, the SCHLABOUBVE regulates that fossil vehicles that produce fine dust are prohibited in all cities from 2025. The BABVVO in Germany will exhaust gas pollution from 2027 and that is what will happen in entire EU also bann of all tires and brakes because of fine dust!!!

2 Things will always be difficult to ban in the USA without a fight combustion engines & guns not to say it won't happen eventually

Sadly China makes the rules now and most politicians are chinese puppets@@UCwp7q5nfJxOXx4txsSF

Enjoy your TR6

@@UCwp7q5nfJxOXx4txsSF thanks for the compliament...they are pretty unusual to drive and for me they are a classic and not something to put a fast engine into as the safety element is not there...no chassis crumple zones...no airbags :) few have roll over bars which now at this age of my life i think is crazy....i will not drive mine until i have a roll over bar which is solid and works. In life we all need an interest in order to get up and go and classic cars are really great.....no wonder we had no mental health issues as children...we were too busy trying to survice... as global warming shuts down these old classics which i suspect it might in the form of taxes, i will change mine to electric so hope to kep mine till i pass to the next world....hopefully that will be Heaven and i hope all the cars will already be fully restored up there and ready for use. take care.
