That's a very early TR6. I had a 1972 one for 21 years and also a 220 BHP 1968 TR5 (mainly fibre glass) for a while - both somewhat missed, the latter was very quick.Originally Posted by monty 48

I counted them in and I counted them out (with apologies to Brian Hanrahan) - 005, 007, 019, 051, 103, 288, 354, 455, 577, 700 - the story continues.
just in a straight line Tony or did it handle well around corners as well?That's a very early TR6. I had a 1972 one for 21 years and also a 220 BHP 1968 TR5 (mainly fibre glass) for a while - both somewhat missed, the latter was very quick.

Very very good around the corners too - sometimes too good for the driver.just in a straight line Tony or did it handle well around corners as well?
Still being used in the Sprint/Hill Climb Championships, I believe.

I remember a car just down the road from me having the registration number TR 5 but it wasn't on a TR5 unfortunatelylooks great Tony
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.That's a very early TR6. I had a 1972 one for 21 year roads whrn the sun is out s and also a 220 BHP 1968 TR5 (mainly fibre glass) for a while - both somewhat missed, the latter was very quick.
possible Purchase
Have now arranged to see the car wednesday (just hope the wife has a good day) !!
£50 M&S voucher to spend on Thursday should do the trick
