Just trying to keep the 1/43 scale forum active with a little variety.

This is a 1969 Triumph TR6 made by Schuco. It's from the Schuco Junior Line, and was purchased for $8.00 at a hobby store about a month ago. Another diecast car that was placed in a box that was forgotten about. :rolleyes:

It's nicely detailed for the $8.00 price.

Is that the only color?? I had a BRG 69... I loved/hated that car, probably one of my top 3 cars I ever had!!

Looks really good!

I tried to get this car in BRG Rob. I was told it wasn't available. I really don't like the blue on this car, but for $8.00 I couldn't say no.

I also tried to get this car in red for a friend of mine that has a red TR6, but no luck there either.

I'm not much for blue cars but that thing is really nice :thumbsup:

Ah, old castings never die - I have a white TR6 with black hardtop, by Detail Cars. Detail are long gone, but their castings pop up here & there under other brand names, and I think, this is one of them. I'll try to remember to take a couple of pics of it, together with the version from Minichamps (different casting) w/o a hardtop & in British Racing Green.

It would be nice to see the the TR6 made by others companies Steve.

I've seen Triumphs made by Spark, but they were the TR4a I believe. They were 4 times the cost of the Schuco. They were very detailed models.

I'll try to photo my Spark TR4 tomorrow, as well as the TR6s. If you ask nicely, I'll also inflict the TR7 on you as well.........oh & Corgi's TR3A.....

Cheers,

I'd love to see pics of those cars Steve!

Please posts pics of them.

I think that Schuco Junior TR-6 is a casting by Grani & Partners - or possibly High Speed. There was a very nice TR-3 casting by Jouef Evolution - a red '58 with black interior & even piping on the seats. Somewhere I've got a yellow plastic Norev TR-5 (TR-250 in the USA); I think that casting may have become an Eligor later.

Thanks for the information on the Schuco Junior TR6 ranchero.
