Had a '70 while I was in the Navy. The squadron Legal Officer (and pilot) had to do a bit of oneupmanship and bought a TR3. His was unfortunately stolen and wrecked while we were on a WestPac cruise. Even I felt his pain.

"Mays test drives the blokiest blokes car on a wet English day." All he needed to say was "English day", the 'wet' is pretty much a given. Where a great many places have occasional wet or cold between all the sunny days, GB has that wonderful climate of occasional sun between the cold/wet.

Bigest mistake i made was selling it , and the girlfroend then used to love to drive it but would never bring it back when she was suppose to

so girls do drive them

p.s. check down undur she was a girl and drove it

[NobleM15fan]

Are there any companies that can modernise a TR6? Because I would buy one, but I've heard too many horror stories about BL build quality.

[hellsambassador666]

Oh man 1972 Tr6, that is the reason I am a car person. It was my dad's in college and he had it until a few years ago. We gave it to a guy who rebuilds them (because it really needs it). I miss that car so much, and it's completely missing muffler. It was a 5 speed too. Well 4 with overdrive to be specific.

Owned a '74 since 1983....replaced the starter once , tires once......that's it.

whats the song from 3:16 its driving me mad!

[FZTaliesin]

I completely agree that this is a "man's car." Before we got married, my wife got to drive her dad's TR6 from the driveway to the shop. 5 feet later, bent fender. I think the car has a serious grudge against a woman in the driver's seat.

Next summer he's shipping it down to me so I can start a restoration/rebuild of the TR6, looking forward to it.

[ZombieMoon2]

I love this car so much

[vts101]

WHATS THE SONG AT 3:16!!!!

[metallica865]

my first car

[Spectatohead]

I do miss both of my TR6s. I put 210,000 miles on my '69 with very few problems. The '71 was nicer with wire wheels, overdrive and a bolt on factory hard top. Then my ex-wife totalled it. The modified TR8 that I'm working on is fun, but I miss the sound of that six. The V8 is cool but here in the States everyone has a V8.

[TheIronTank]

Oh man I just had to search this up when a customer pulled in for gas in a tr6, had to task him what it was :P

[roberthanson]

Still have one... Love it!

[Dehmlack]

Gott schütze uns vor Sturm und Wind, und Autos, die aus England sind.

God save us of storm and wind and cars built in england.

Typical german saying.

But the TR6 is my most favourite. Totally admiring. No Porsche, no Ferrari, no E-Type, just a TR 6.

[jdslick1234]

my mom has a tr6 and my dad has to fix it about once a month, right now its parked in the driveway cause he is fed up with it LOL but i took it out many times, hot chicks go great in the pasenger seat,

[sharkinfested]

I had a red TR6 just like that one when I was in college. Well, it looked like that one from 20 feet away lol. Up close the driver's side window was held up by a screwdriver, the wiper switch dangled under the dash and only worked on high; and when I made a left turn one of the headlights would go out. I also had to work on it most weekends.

BUT

When it was sunny and she was running, man there was nothing like it. :)

[motoyen]

LOL! Great story. One of my first cars was a 1977 Austin Mini. The headlights would go on and off at random times, the horn only worked when it was hot out and the car kept stalling when ever it rained. But it was my first car and I loved it!

[sharkinfested]

:) Nothing beats a guy's first sports car!

[highlands]

@sharkinfested

Thats pretty much how most TR6s left the factory.

[luedriver]

@sharkinfested then they say that lada's need some assembly or that its half made in the factory and half in your garage....

[bigdaddynickg]

@sharkinfested I was once asked by a friend if I knew of anyone who worked on Triumph's. My reply, "Anyone who owns one."

[rebb5164]

I own a pimento red TR6 and loved this video. Thanks for posting!

[panzerrat]

Can't speak for the manliness of a TR-6, but I've got quite a bit of time behind the wheel of an Austin Healey 100-6. Another manly sports car! Having said that, I love TR-6's.

[bigsi1968]

I can remember a middle aged woman in my home town of Retford (Notts) driving a dark blue tr6 with a hard top. She didn't look manly at all! But what a great fun piece on a superb car!

[VogonMelchie]

My mom used to drive a TR6 to work every day. My dad went crazy fixing it for her all the time :)

[LaugermanPROductions]

fixing what...the electrics?

[VogonMelchie]

Sort of, the A type electric overdrive broke almost every other time she used it. And to get that out, you have to tear out the interior of the car. When I went out and bought my 1975 tr6 I made sure to get the J type overdrive (it doesn't have that little piston that gets stuck all the time).

[LifeCouldBeADream11]

And what are you saying by the fact that your father had to fix hers all of the time, and not that he had to fix his own?

[VogonMelchie]

Hey, it's my TR6, lady. The car's in my name and I do all the work on it. My point is the thing won't even run unless there's a man around. It's like it knows or something...

[thalkettoth]

my dad had one when i was growing up. a '76, french blue :)

[Broommaster2000]

I like that car. :)

[motoyen]

I wish May would do more classic car reviews.

[M3addicted]

me too!

[NobleM15fan]

@motoyen You should watch his review of the Aston Martin Lagonda and Jaguar XJS.

[motoyen]

@NobleM15fan Check out my other videos. Those reviews are posted.

[slofut]

When I was driving my '69 tr6 back around '79, there was a girl in in town that drove a well worn TR6! She was very much a manly woman though...
