Royal Blue/Shadow Blue interior, for the other Rick, being the most popular color doesnt make it the best color for a TR6. Mine is a 69

Mine started life white, was yellow when I bought it in 1977, when I painted it BRG. When I turned 40 I couldn't afford a red sports car, so I painted the one I had Signal Red. Black interior, burr walnut dash.

Marcello

Boy do I feel like the odd man out.
1975 Delft Blue w/ Black interior.
Sid Turner

1971 TR6 Jasmine Yellow/Blk Interior
Jeff Shirhall

"IT" started out life as Carmine Red, but the "ALL SEING" has seen the error of it's way and changed it to MAGENTA. You got to be strong in your masculinity to drive this color.
John Davis

Mine is Lilla Fiat 73 rare color but it was formely an original ugly blue

'75 TR6
Jean G. Catford

Hey Sid you have company, well sort of

1975 Delt Blue (136) but with shadow blue interior

Delt is the exact colour of the blue in the Union Jack flag

I think it is a great colour, it is similar to the colour the WIlliams F1 team used to run in the 1990's

Shadow blue interior I could do without...baby blue ain't cool


Unfortunately Triumph produced some butt ugly colours like the pea green, boring beige, Barney purple or worst of all diarrhea brown. Who buys a sports car in brown anyways?? Sorry not to offend but Brown is a looser colour, nothing looks good in brown eg: suits, cars, appliances, walls, grass, and hair. There are so many better choices
Steven

I beg to differ with Steven on hair color, I prefer brunets!
EC Smith

1974 Magenta, original Yes, you can learn to like it!
wayne

Originally Mallard, now a deep Aqua,like TR 250's Needs paint though. Get so many compliments even in her current deteriorated state - having a tough time deciding to 'go original'or stay with how she is - or go to Saphire Blue, my other favorite color. This is why she is not painted - I can't decide. Help ! Peter G
Peter Gooch

Hi all...current colour..Forest Green / Tan interior..But ready to repaint British Racing Green..But like Peter I cannot make up my mined, not on colour but whether to paint base coat/clear coat OR to go original Enamel.
Peter Becker

Peter
My vote is Saphire Blue with a thin red pin stripe.
