HiPo V8 Powered: 1973 Triumph TR6

The Triumph TR6 was a small roadster introduced by those crazy Brits in Coventry in 1969 to replace the TR5/TR250 which was really just a slight change to the TR4...etc etc.  The TR6 did last thru 1976 when it was replaced with the wedge shaped and unloved TR7 and it was always powered by a decently powerful inline-6...until today.  Find this 1973 Triumph TR6 V8 offered for $12,500 in Julian, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Rock On!

Fleet Sale: 1972 Triumph TR6

Brand loyalty is something that scheming marketing folks are always trying to tap into, but seldom will you find this in the private vehicle-to-vehicle sales world.  However, if you've ever purchased a car from a trustworthy fellow, you know how rewarding that can be, so it makes sense to buy more from the guy...right? Who knows if this seller is trustworthy, but the last feature was his reasonably priced Volvo 122S, and you can also buy his 1972 Triumph TR6 offered for $4,700 in Mechanicsburg, OH via craigslist. Tip from Hunter.

British Bulldog: 1972 Triumph TR6

by Brian -- The TR6 was one of the last great British roadsters to come to America. The TR6 has all of the key components we all desire in a roadster --it's British, is has classic looks and chrome bumpers. This car appears to have lived a very sheltered life, but the seller is looking to unload it for a cheap price. With some elbow grease you could easily come out ahead on this TR6. Find this 1972 Triumph TR6 offered for $5000 in Mobile, Al via craigslist.

Fuzzy Logic: 1972 Triumph TR6

Creative without strategy is called 'art.' Creative with strategy is called 'advertising.' -- Professor Jef Richards Chair of the Dept of Advertising & Public Relations at Michigan State University.  The problem with surfing craigslist/eBay for too many years is that you start to believe the hype, and you assume that any advertisement with horrible pictures and a terse description is junk -- but that's where you'd be wrong, because some of the best stuff on craigslist doesn't appear to be good at all. Find this 1972 Triumph TR6 offered for $5,500 in Brunswick, GA via craigslist.  Tip from Zach.

T for Tea: 1974 Triumph TR6

T isn't for tuetonic tank, no...T is for a tea sipping topless tourer for two.  Triumph introduced the TR6 in 1969 to replace the TR5/TR250 which was really just a slight change to the TR4...you could probably trace the roots of most British sports cars back to Roman chariots, but that is a diatribe for another time.  The TR6 is a good looking car and it lasted thru 1976 when it was replaced with the wedge shaped and unloved TR7.  Find this 1974 Triumph TR6 currently bidding for $6,831 on ebay reserve-not-met in Maple Shade, NJ.

5k: Rotary Power: 1974 Triumph TR6

A wise man once said that rotary powered swaps always come in pairs.  Like the Sith, there is always a student and a master, never less/never more.  Today's 13B powered Starlet is Darth Sidious, all-powerful and invisible to the untrained eye, but this feature is decorated in garish paint and more resembles a young Darth Maul, eager for battle but untrained.  Find this 1974 Triumph TR6 with Mazda RX rotary power for sale in Memphis, TN for $5,800 via craigslist.

45 of 50: Regina: 1973 Triumph TR6

Looking for a way to skin your knuckles fixing things that shouldn't have broken, in between brief periods of motoring terror as you try to dodge Suburbans and semi trucks while getting windburn and sunburn simultaneously? Don't want to look like a hairdresser or secretary while doing so? Then you need a Triumph TR6! Triumph is a brand that doesn't get much press anymore - and for good reason - they have been extinct since the early 1980s. However their last "normal" looking roadster, the TR6, is still relatively common in the US. If you're feeling a bit masochistic but are tired of cutting yourself with safety pins, check out this 1973 Triumph TR6 for sale in Woolwich, ME for $10,000 via craigslist.  Tip from Keenan D.

10k: Repeat Offender: 1975 Triumph TR6

This 1975 Triumph TR6 has been examined on DT before; it was at the Ruby's Diner Cruise at the Beach summer friday car show...featured in our April 2013 writeup. DT cub reporter CFlo couldn't find the owner and there was no price posted, but now we've stumbled across it while combing the web for cheap oil leakers British roadsters. In person it looked like a very solid car, and has rolled only 74k miles in its two owner life. Find it here on craigslist in the LA South Bay area, for $12000 or best offer.

10k: Rover Power: 1974 Triumph TR6, Rover V8

The Triumph TR6 was a popular British roadster sold from 1969 to 1976, and was powered by a 2.5 liter inline-6 engine which sounded great compared to the 1.8 liter in the MGB, but a low-compression carburetted tune for the US market meant it was just as slow as its 4-cylinder competition.  Driving a vintage TR6 is a scarf-and-glove affair where you enjoy the scenery and savor the sunshine because getting anywhere is going to take you some time...unless you shove a cammed all-alloy Rover 3.5 V8 into the front.  Find this 1974 Triumph TR6 with Rover V8 and 5spd for sale in Pittsburgh, PA currently bidding on ebay for $8,250 reserve-not-met with a few hours to go.

Roadkill Roundup: Mining For Gems At Ruby's Redondo Beach

We hope that the Daily Turismo is frequented by car nuts like us: always on the lookout for something weird, cool, powerful, and cheap (or all of the above) to tool around town in and have a bit of fun with. Also if you're like us, you too check out local cruise nights and car shows every once in a while...but you are not the lawn-chair show goer who spends all week polishing their '57 Chevy only to spoil it with a fake "crying kid" leaning against the bumper wearing a crocheted sweater. What we mean to say is, in our roundabout way, that a local low-stress casual car show can be a good place to find your next Daily Turismo, if you know what to look for...and what to steer the hell clear of. Follow along as we check out the cheap classic car market at our local Ruby's Diner "Cruise at the Beach" in Redondo Beach, California located steps from the Hotel Portofino, site of the finish line for the infamous Cannonball Baker Memorial Sea-To-Shining-Sea Trophy Dash.
