– pure sixties design from Giovanni Michelotti in the shape of this compact sports car from the Triumph factory in Coventry. In red it looks like a firecracker.

Like you, I am very tall ~ 6′ 4″ in my case. In my case, I don’t really fit into these things. In my late teens and early twenties I used to do farm visits for milk parlour tests, with a tech officer. I was the lesser help. But the lady owner had a TR4.. a bit cramped, which was soon changed for a TR250.. hohoho.. now we’re cooking!
Except, not for long, it seemed she didn’t really like it, had 150 bhp and was very quick.. if still cramped.?
And so, a brand new TR6 was bought, in BRG and fabric seats ~ delish, space and comfort for moi.. I loved that car, tho’ did not realise until quite recently just how quick it really was.. 150 bhp in the period really was quite something.
And sadly, I couldn’t afford one. Hey ho.!
Look after one another, stay safe, be well
Lots of love to both.
