Going on a bit of a tangent here (and related to the other thread about the Triumph car museum), there was also a car called the Triumph TR6.
The reason I know that is because my uncle had one.
He was an interesting guy - back when I was a kid, we lived in the Washington, DC metro area, where my dad worked as a civilian historian for the Army at Fort McNair in DC. Uncle Brian was an underwater archaeologist (yes, that's a real thing) working for the Smithsonian. He was also recently divorced and living a "swinging bachelor" lifestyle that had become common at this time (this would have been circa 1967-68.) He had the now-stereotypical big leather couch, killer stereo system, "tasteful" nude art on the wall - and - of course - that sexy little Triumph sports car. He started in a TR-4 but I guess that was too tame for him because he quickly upgraded to a TR-6. Every now and then one of us kids would get to go on a ride in that thing, what I remember most was that it felt like we were about 2 inches off the ground and going very fast!
Ah, the 60's!
