Some things just go together - peanut butter and chocolate, beer farts and giggles, and, adding to that list, hair shirt British roadsters and BMW M-series sixes. As representative of that last category, today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe restored TR6 begs not the question of should you, as its concept is near perfection, but of could you, as its price might stand improvement.

Like Rolex watches and lady quakes, yesterday's replica Bugatti 57S proved easy to fake, but perhaps less satisfying to experience. Being as such it came with a price tag that's a fraction of what the real deal cost these days, however that didn't stop 72% of you from giving it a very real Crack Pipe loss. In contrast to that car which was attempting to be something it was not, today's restored Triumph TR6 is trying to be everything it ever was, and much, much more.

The TR blood line, from debutante TR2 through the final gremlin-plagued TR7/8s have always been highly desirable cars - well, the TR7s not so much. Of all the pre-wedge TRs, the TR6 stands out as perhaps the most hirsute and testosterone imbued, although you can trace its lineage all the way back to the original long door TR2. Triumph did a good job in hiding its ancient origins through the 3, 4, and 5/250 iterations, and did update the cars along the way. That included affixing an independent rear suspension to its flexi-flier of a frame, and, rare for the era, offering fuel injection on the late sixties inline sixes.
