Spotted at a local Saturday ‘Cars & Coffee’ type gathering featuring local enthusiast cars. The cars are mostly American - street rods and more modern - but there was also this Triumph Spitfire 1500 with Minilite style wheels. Neat!
The original Spitfire models inherited their suspension system from the Triumph Herald including its swingarm rear suspension. Because of the configuration, during cornering extremes the rear axle halves could appear to begin folding on itself and begin raising the rear end of the car, compromising its handling.
Over time, Triumph took steps to lessen this effect.
Like two of the Dolomites from my uploads yesterday, there is a link between this pair of bigger Triumphs seen at different shows in that both were sold new by Duff Morgan & Vermont in Norwich.
Always pleasing to see cars on plates from my area, and especially so in the case of these 2000/2500 models which I rather like.

The Triumph TR6 sports car was officially introduced in January 1969 and the last TR6 was produced on the 20th of July 1976. Of the 91,850 TR6s produced, 83,480 were exported, almost all of them to the United States, while only 8,370 were sold in the UK.
The styling of the body of the TR6 was done by Karmann of Germany. Triumph Motor Cars had a limited budget for the development of the TR6, and while the car looked drastically different from the previous body style of the TR4/TR4A/TR250/TR5 cars, the same chassis, engines, running gear, doors, windshield, and much of the body tub were taken directly from the TR250/TR5 models. The new removable hardtop for the TR6 was designed in-house by Triumph, and was available as an option.

"Gainger Bros Garage was a landmark in the Main Street of Beeac for many years. The business was opened in 1917 by Arthur Gainger and his brother Les.
Arthur ran the business in Beeac and Les was in charge in Colac.
When the business first started, Gaingers sold push bikes, Harley Davidson and Triumph motor bikes and Dort Motor cars. They later sold Fargo utes and De Soto cars. In time they had a very successful Austin car dealership. The cars sold ranged from the little Austin A30 to the Austin Sheerline and the luxurious top of the range Sheerline Princess. They also sold a range of utes and trucks as well as the sporty Austin Healey.
Gainger Bros was probably best known throughout the Beeac and Colac districts for their bus service. The first buses were models of Rio, Federal and the Diamond T.
Later, Austin and Bedford buses were used. They transported children to Colac High and Alvie Consolidated Schools as well as workers and passengers to Colac."

The early version as shown also lacked external door handles.
