1970 Triumph TR6 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Not practical, but fast, reliable, head turning fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater fan blowing fuses.
Fuel pressure relief valve stuck.
General comments?
The car is very quick even by todays standards.
The overdrive transmission makes cruising at high high speed fuss free.
It corners like a go cart on smooth roads, but unfortunately the front end is unstable on bumpy roads.
The cabin is a little cramped and the seats are not comfortable for long distances.
It also attracts a lot of attention and comments from people of all ages.
