TR7 TR8 Not hairdressers car

TR7 TR8 Not hairdressers car 

But they are ugly as sin..

TR4/5/6 are much prettier.. wait, does that make them hairdressers cars?

But if you're talking classics.. Austin Healey 3000? Porsche 356? Now back in the realms of reality.. Fiat X1/9?

Ahh. If we're talking classics, there is only one.... But I'd have one with a few modern tweaks...

and my old 69 TR6 PI (sold years back unfortunately)

Always liked the TR6 and fancied a Stag (with the original Triumph V8)

Thanks, Mr dbug.


The closest I came to a TR6 was a 1976 Triumph 2500S.

It had the 'Stag wheels' and overdrive on second, third and top gear. Sadly it wasn't fuel injected, instead equipped with either twin SU or stromberg carbs.......I can't quite remember which.

The tin worm had given it a beating, but it was still an elegant car.

It had about 100 b.h.p if memory serves.

Std TR6 PI is 150 bhp, std TR4A is 110 bhp, my 4A was chucking out a tad over 130 bhp after complete engine rebuild et alia.

Yes. I believe that the 2.5 PI salooon was rated at 132bhp.

I think that the later TR6's, post 1973, were detuned slightly for supposedly smoother running.

I'd much prefer a car from the 69-72 era.

Yep post 73 TR6s were non -PI, running on twin Stroms - 125bhp

Nothing to do with smoother running (the PIs were smooth but b*ggers to set up properly), but emissions

have a look at a Scimitar GTC, similar car without the rust or engine problems, and a good one can be had for about £3 -4 grand, how much is a tatty stag?
