    Cool early TR6

    Only 150 BHP on mine (when at three figures and the brake is pressed can go either way) so think thats enough. Pleasure to drive the devon lanes when the sun comes out through.

    Likewise,
    Dont worry about airbag, but mine is going to be a seat out job the electric seat mech has nearly decapitated the whole loom!
    A good tip is if fuse 27 blows and you have no vent blower get in there quick!

    Hi Monty

    I spoke to Ben after you were viewing it to see if you bought it, apparently not, I was interested as thinking of fitting a S/C to mine.

    Any feed back on the car, it was being viewed this afternoon, so may have gone.

    Sorry Graham have only just got this question - car has full service history with local garage (same as purchased from) all other paper work fits including the fact that the owner sold and then re purchased the car in 2007 ! as far as I could see both car & owner both very honestand although I am not that hot on mechinacals (would have had inspection done on it) so not able to tell you to much. All I can say is during test drive car felt tight and firm and the charger pulled very well from about 3000
    not sure if this helps(didn't help much with the wife!!) Thanks Andrew

    Thanks Andrew,

    I've heard nothing from Ben so I guess he sold it. I'm happy with the condition of mine & it has all the optional extras, having refurbed the wheels, fitted a accufab & had a new front bumper, radiator etc from my wifes accident in the summer, its pretty up together. I will super charge it at sometime in the future but it seemed a good price for that one.
