Specifications - SPECS.GIF

The TR-6 was introduced in 1969. It was the successor to the TR-5/250 model, which was basically the TR-4A with a 2.5 liter inline 6 cylinder engine (petrol injected in the TR-5 and carburetted in the TR-250). The TR-6 body was a Karmann restyle of the TR-4/TR-5 body. The TR-6 was produced until 1976, with over 94,000 units produced. It was the last of the "Traditional" English sportscars.
