What a fantastic car! Can't believe more people haven't done more restomod projects with a TR6, because it's such a cool looking car with bags of space in the engine bay. The look on his face when he gave it some beans, you can tell it's really on the edge with all that power in such a small package. His look is not just of fear but more like "What am I doing? This thing might kill us both!!" 🤣🤣

The IRS made a huge difference (I note you said TR4 and not 4A), but the TR6 had a tendency to snap and step out at the back if you put too much throttle out of a tight bend or turning onto a road in anything other than bone dry conditions. Personally, for the road, generally the original 150bhp is more than enough on this chassis no matter what tyres/shocks you’ve got on it. Of course nowadays I doubt these get taken out much other than on sunny days; mine was everyday transport. I had a TR6 for about 20 years and a TR7 for 2 years. The 7 pissed all over the 6 in terms of handling although never looked as good and was rubbish if you’d got a girlfriend and no accommodation of your own! 😈😉😉

With that much power, a locking diff would probably be more beneficial for keeping it in a straight line since it seems to be a recreational, weekend type of car. Beautiful TR-6, I always wanted one, but my dad said it was expensive to maintain British crap and that I'd spend more time working on it than driving it LOL. I ended up with a Capri 2600 V6(I live in California) in 1982 and actually raced a fellow in an early TR-6(early U.S. TR-6 were much faster than the later smog engine ones). We went neck and neck until about 85mph when I pulled away a bit(maybe a half a car), so I didn't regret getting the Capri over the TR-6, but I would still love to have one, and my long gone Capri as well! This TR-6 is purely brilliant!

The TR6's were in competition with the 240Z back in the day. They were considered pretty car cool with the then innovative IRS, independent rear suspension which gave the Z and TR6 extra corner fun. Radials were fairly new then too which added to the need for insurance of a better grade.

Yes, radials were a fairly new thing. I hadn't turned 16 yet as I remember riding my bicycle to his place to talk to him so this was built before '83. It was that pale yellow colour from new but later a red then a burgundy metallic. It sounded unreal too not a lot of exhaust pipe.

The problem is that the trailing arm design of the Triumph was prone to camber changes, making the cars very twitchy at the limit and in fact inferior to a good live axle. The 240Z's macpherson strut design (like the Lotus) was vastly superior, as the car magazine road tests of the day attested.

But as I say, it's just me

The engine reminds me of the Cosworth Vega I owned in the 70's and 80's. I removed Chevrolet's misbegotten fuel injection and fitted it with 42 DCOE side-draft Webers and then I loved it. Jetting was a snap with carbs I could pull the entire jet stack out and make changes in less than 5 minutes if I was motivated. What a difference Webers make! They are free-flowing and infinitely adjustable as I could slide in different size chokes all day if I wanted. Very nice little car.......I should never have sold it. All in all, this is a sweet ride and all the personal touches are well done and logical in their functionality.......great job! By the way, I'm a Yank.......what language are these chaps speaking?

Nice car and very well done but I can't help but feel that the soul has been taken out of the TR6 by fitting a Ford engine. There were various alternative and very powerful engines like the Rover V8 that shares the family DNA. The sound of a hot Rover V8 would have compensated for the loss of the equally sonorous Triumph straight 6. The V8 would probably have been lighter than the turbo'd Cosworth to the benefit of the handling.

Brilliant build! Kinda agree that it's no longer a TR6, especially w/a turbo. TR6 was happiest @ 2.5-4k rpm imho & the exhaust note was magnificient! Then again I'd planned to install a '79 Chevy 400ci engine in my mint '72 BRG TR6 (measured & it fit) when much younger. Totalled mine sadly 2 weeks before planned swap when a driver ran a Stop sign in front of me 2 weeks b4 date of swap 😭. I already had dual side draft Webers, yellow Koni shocks & glass pack dual slash tip exhaust & redone interior w/highback seats (neck/head protection) . Stock engine w/Solex's & 0 mods made the stock 150hp on the dyno when reg'd @ 9yo when I got it. Had that same hardtop. Never used it in 3 years. Rare now. Loved that car! Sadly accident bent the frame so Ins totalled it. Even had same bumper deletes 👍. Seriously no roll bar? Real fuel cell? Suspension sorted? TR6's handled well w/a bit of care & sorting. Personally don't like the Gadgetman interior/shifter. Interior makes it look 1/2 finished. Mildly like this vid. Black paint? & that tailpipe should be a TR6 crime. I can't imagine a harder clutch pedal than stock. Definitely On/Off on mine. Went thru 5.5 clutches (crooked mechanic 1x), 3 trannys in 3 years (said I was young 😆). Engine was bulletproof. I drifted mine occasionally (bit of rain helped 😉) driving up the hill home as there were several perfect drift corners. Definitely not a sleeper. More an Outlaw or Resto-mod. & where's the ubitiqous luggage rack? 😀 Cheers to his brother for building & paying the bills! Kudos for not having Insta! Yes I'm still looking for a non-OD 69-71 5 speed. Now want to install an e30 6, 240Z 6 or go monster Nissan twin turbo. The engine bay is massive vs today's cars. Lucas elec/wiring had killed my OD b4 I bought mine. 70-100kmh in 4th & an open road, my 6 was happiest. Not a race car. Definitely a tourer. Interesting build that sent me down happy memory lane. 👍

WOW that's an incredible TR6 that has to be the cleanest most professional swaps I believe I've ever seen. with all the high quality bits and pieces though out the car. there is definitely plenty of redundancy built into it with all the AN fittings and steel braided hoses. I really like the current owners philosophy with the car his saying that they wanted to get the most out of that they could. but because it's an old car a person has to have a great deal of respect for it. and how he explained every detail about the car, even though some people might find that to be too much information for a video. and how he seemed low key yet very allert and careful. and that the interviewer was almost beside himself so excited about this car, though the whole video. and how he explained how the previous owner was such a stickler about even the finest details, like his use of the ultra high quality and completely functional aircraft switches, and controls, gauges, those tiny details can mean the difference between a day of happy motoring. and a day where your enjoyment is cut short due to something as simple as a switch failure. and I also liked his choice of parts and components such as the T5 transmission. I had thoughts about finding a TR6 chassis or possibly an MGB chassis. and putting a massaged 2.8L on up to 4.0 L V6 in one, and match up which ever two would work out depending on parts availability, but haven't done it. I would have to get freed up from some other projects first. My father worked with a guy that put a 302c.i. 5.0 L V8 in a TR6. I know he had to build a special hood for it that was raised by two inches, and I know he was driving it around. but I haven't seen him in while because he's lives twenty away. and I haven't had to venture over there in a while. I will go visit him and see if he still has the car and see how it's doing.

I love the old sports cars. I dreamt about them for decades… and then, years later, I took the plunge, I bought a Miata, a black on black 1994 NA, with 40K on the clock and cranks for the windows. I LOVED that car! I remember when I bought it, I was in a particularly good mood for at least 6 mos.! And that love affair lasted 11 years. That was in SoCal. Back in New England, I WAS missing the sports car I always wanted to drive here, so I picked up a ‘97 M-Edition again with 40K. She now has 55 and I’m livin’ the life! I would love a TR or MG, but the Miata is both, better. I consider myself lucky to be able to have a few of my favorite cars.

Had a 69 TR6 with a 350 sbc and TH350 auto that was still well balanced at 46/54%. Battery was in the trunk with the drive train back to the firewall and x member, engine/trans respectively. I was pleasantly surprised. Found it three quarters finished in a farmers yard...and groaned when I saw the V8. But it was perfect, other than the auto. But the stock rear end wouldn't stand up, lost two. Didn't get around to the Nissan 300 ZX third member conversion unfortunately. Had those wheels too. I kick my self now for selling it:)

"Mom" means momentary. So it is not a permanent operation of the switch as it returns back to the "off" position when moved to the Mom position. A similar switch would be used for your headlight flasher.

I've always loved the look of the later model TR-6s! Looked at one with a Ford V-8 in it a few years ago, it was done well and was really clean. Alas, it is a weekend car and I needed a daily driver. It was hard to walk away from that one.

Awesome machine… I ordered a TR-250 in 1968. The dealer called me back to inform me it was no longer available. But if I wanted “basically the same car” with that 6 cylinder they had a first import of the TR-6. It was amazing, Pimento Red with Black interior, wire wheels…but no O/D… only regret. It could keep,up with the Healy 3000 up to 120… really miss that car.

I absolutely love the way that car looks and I'd love to own one even here in America. I'd stuff a Mustang Coyote motor into it.

😎👍🇺🇸 Brilliant car. Absolutely stunning. I have a fondness for British cars. Owned a 74 Spitfire for awhile. Is was pretty much stock. I currently have a 71 Mini Cooper S. Apparently it was a former Marry Hart car. It still has the striped interior with the logo on it. It's not a show car but still very clean tidy. Sadly it doesn't have the original motor. Nevertheless, it's a blast to drive. Gets lots of attention here in the PNW Seattle Washington area. Cheers from 🇺🇸 ✌️

4 point seatbelts are out right dangerous unless MAYBE you have them super tight. In the event of a crash, if you dont have a 5 or 6 point belt keeping your crotch in place, you WILL slide under the 4 point belt and "kiss" the dashboard with your knees or just plain get squashed under the steering wheel (good luck walking again after that). So many car enthusiasts / amateurs get infatuated with 4 point belts for the looks and they risk their lives everyday without knowing. A conventional 3 point belt is immeasurably safer due to its self tighting action in the event of a crash. Either go 5 or 6 point, or just stay with the 3 point. Now why I had this nitpicking comment from viewing the whole video? simple: jealousy!🤣

The Triumph badge in the thumbnail is Triumph Motorcycles, not Triumph automobiles. Two different companies-Triumph autos no longer exists. I believe the rights to the Triumph cars name is owned by BMW.

If you're going to build up something that cool, put a built up V8 small block into it! Ahhh the Brits still have lots to learn don't they!!!! All and all, it's still a nice Triumph 👍 Friends of mine had the GT6's👍

The hard top on the TR6 makes no difference to the handling. This car is built on a chassis do the roof makes no difference. TBH you don’t seem to know what you’re talking about! 🤷🏻‍♂️
