The Triumph Six Cylinder, or Triumph I6, is a cast-iron overhead valve straight-six engine produced by Standard Triumph. It evolved from the Standard Motor Company inline-four SC engine first designed for the Standard Eight, with two cylinders added and a larger displacement. It was introduced in the Standard Vanguard Six in 1960 with a capacity of 1998 cc and then spread through the Triumph range, into the Vitesse from 1962, the Triumph 2000, the GT6 and, in 2.5 litre form with a longer stroke, the TR5, TR250 and TR6. Lucas fuel injection gave the TR5 a claimed 150 bhp. Work on a successor began after Leyland absorbed Triumph and Rover, and the new Leyland PE166 straight six used in the Rover SD1 ended up as an entirely new design.
