In Italy, for many reasons, the GT6 had not spread and today it's therefore a rare car, although most known and desired than during past time. At a distance of fifty years his line still arouses admiration and could not be otherwise since it was born from the pencil of Giovanni Michelotti, one of the greatest designers of all time. In this article we wrote the story of this beautiful car about which there is still much to discover.

With the debut of the TR4A in 1965, Triumph finally had a sports car with a modern fully independent suspension to match its crisp Italian styling, but the company soon decided the TR needed more power and a fresh suit of clothes. The results were two familiar-looking cars with completely new engines, followed less than two years later by a fresh-looking model whose specifications were pure déjà vu. In the second part of our history of the TR4, we look at the 1968-1976 Triumph TR5 PI, TR250, and TR6.
