TR6 (1968 to 1976)

The Triumph TR6, produced between 1968 and 1976, represents the brawny, straight-six finale of the classic British roadster era before the wedge-shaped TR7 took over. In the 2026 Australian market, the TR6 has become a blue-chip collectible, with a local buyer pool that specifically hunts for the early 2.5-litre Petrol Injection (PI) models, which are celebrated for their 150hp output and aggressive, "Kamm-tail" styling by Karmann. Desirability remains at an all-time high in March 2026, as these cars are viewed as the ultimate "analog" weekend tourers, perfectly suited for the thriving Australian classic rally and "Cars and Coffee" circuits. This enduring popularity is underpinned by a huge Australian aftermarket world, where owners have access to everything from modern Wilwood brake conversions to reliable Bosch fuel pump upgrades that solve traditional "Lucas blues". For maintenance and precision tuning, the Graeme Cooper Automotive workshop in St Peters continues to be a cornerstone for the community; although famously known as Land Rover specialists, their decades of expertise with the British Leyland family makes them a premier destination for owners seeking to keep these high-compression engines running perfectly in the local climate. Consequently, the market value of the TR6 in Australia is exceptionally robust, with pristine, Australian-delivered PI models frequently fetching between $40,000 and $55,000 at local auctions.
