Shoving a big engine in a small car isn’t a new formula, but the Triumph TR6 is one of the most affordable ways to do it. This slick 1973 TR6 resto-mod has a bunch of smart upgrades that make the most of the burly inline-six under the hood without diluting its classic British roadster personality. Originally plain old white, this one was repainted three years ago using Tahiti Blue, a correct TR6 color. Of course, you can plainly see that there are a few other mods, which give the slick little roadster a unique look that still looks very traditional. Finish quality is quite good, better than what they were doing in ’73 at the factory, and the vivid blue paint certainly suits the extroverted little convertible rather well. Doors fit well, the body lines are crisp, and it doesn’t look like this car was ever wrecked or rusty. The grille was fitted with a set of oversized driving lights and a lot of the chrome trim was shaved, so it looks purposeful, and the slender rubber bumpers are the preferred look on these cars. Slightly flared fenders accommodate oversized rubber, which only accentuates the tough little bulldog stance and makes a big difference in the handling department. Inside, the stock buckets are gone, replaced by a set of black vinyl chairs from an early ’90s Mazda Miata, and obviously the fit is a good one. You’ll note that the paint job was a full disassembly, since there’s no trace of the original white finish, even on the door jambs, and the blue extends into the interior to make it look complete. Custom Auto Meter gauges were stuffed into a gorgeous woodgrained dashboard, but the rest of the switchgear appears to be original, including the steering column, light switch, and wiper controls. A small-diameter steering wheel captures the look of the original but feels a lot more connected to the front tires and those of you with sharp eyes will note that the cue ball shifter shows five forward gears instead of four (more on that in a moment).
