Editing Triumph TR6 (section)

==Design and features==
Triumph Motor Cars had a limited budget for the development of the TR6. While the [[Karmann]]-designed exterior looked considerably different from the [[Triumph TR4|TR4]]/TR4A/TR250/[[Triumph TR5|TR5]] cars, the same chassis, engines, running gear, doors, windscreen and much of the body tub were carried over from the TR250/TR5 models.  The new removable hardtop for the TR6 was designed in-house by Triumph, and was available as an option.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Taylor|first= James|title= Triumph TR|publisher=Motorworks International Publishers & Wholesalers|year=1997|isbn=0-7603-0407-6|location= Osecola, USA|page =89}}</ref>

Construction of the TR6 was traditional [[body-on-frame]] with four-wheel independent suspension, front [[disc brake]]s and rear [[drum brake]]s.

All TR6s were powered by Triumph's [[Triumph I6|2.5-litre straight-6]] engine.

The TR6 featured a four-speed [[manual transmission]]. An electrically switched [[Overdrive (mechanics)|overdrive]] made by [[Laycock de Normanville]] was available as an option.  On early cars the "A-type" model overdrive was used and was able to be activated on second, third, and fourth gears and provided a 22% gear ratio reduction.  Later TR6s had a  "J-type" model overdrive able to be activated only on third and fourth gears but with a 28% gear ratio reduction.

Other notable features that were shared with the TR250/TR5 included aluminium semi-trailing arm [[independent suspension|independent rear suspension]], rack and pinion steering, pile carpet on floors and boot, bucket seats, full instrumentation, {{convert|15|in|adj=on}} wheels and depending on the market, Michelin asymmetric XAS tyres that dramatically improved the handling.  The optional steel [[hardtop]] required two people to deploy. The dashboard was a light shade of flat cut walnut veneer over plywood with a thick coating.  Overdrives and hardtops were more commonly selected options, while a rear anti-roll bar and a limited-slip differential were rare.
