A quick look in the rearview mirror at one of my all-time favorite cars, the Triumph TR6 (1969 - 1975).
According the Vintage Triumph Register:
The TR6 ranks among one of the most popular British cars for modern Everyday transport. The TR6 was introduced in 1969 with a re-skinned body versus the prior TR5/250 . More TR6s were produced by Triumph than any prior TR: over ninety thousand were sold before the TR6 was replaced by the TR7 in 1976. With the optional hardtop , the TR6 makes an excellent "Grand Touring (GT)" coupe.If you can get your hands on one of the 150 hp fuel-injected UK versions, as opposed to the 104 hp carbureted US editions, you'll have a fast, maneuverable, relatively reliable car that's got the best engine sound on the road, and the roomiest cabin of any of the Triumph/MG/Austin two-seaters. TR6s are a relative bargain on the market -- a good runner can be had for well under $10,000 -- just watch for rust, bad electrics and leaky carbs.
