TWOcan Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 There is a TR6 for sale by Classicandperformancecars.co.uk.Its a red car and has had a 1000 hour restoration by Racestorations.Its done 2500 miles since the work and is up for an eye watering £37,500. Any feedback would appreciated on this vehicle. Regards David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 If it's the one I'm thinking about it's a bargain!!! Would cost double to build Very well built car Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marko Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 In my opinion Tom is right, it would cost a lot more to build one from scratch.....however...... It is very very very difficult to re-sell a car that has been so highly modified and personalised, the retail market is very limited for modified cars as most people prefer original cars. Based on 25 years of buying and selling TR's so only my opinion, Racetorations or TR Enterprises may have a different view Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Mark, Your take on this is very relevant. The cars built to this sort of spec are a very personal build that's for sure. Always easier to sell a 'blank canvas' for the new owner.... Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cp25616 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Marko you are spot on with your mini-appraisal. Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeanF Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Near side window doesn't fit very well.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 This is, IMHO, a crackin'car. I have never had anything to do with Racetorations, but, based on the general opinion of this forum, I bet the build quality is 1st class. If I were looking to buy this car, I guess the asking price is not unreasonable. For me though, it is too highly modified. I can get a more modern, more reliable car, that will perform in a similar manner (albeit without the TR6 panache), for similar money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jean Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just hope the battery bracket is not made of steel.... IMHO too close to the battery positive and the bonnet latch, could need a better isolation.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Well spotted Jean, on my 4A I have the battery clamp covered in a bit of old inner tube in the vicinity of the positive battery terminal. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 The 100% solution to that is to fit a battery with the terminals to the rear. One of the first things I did to my TR6 and Eric has one from the day it was back on the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rhino_mac Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I was just posting because it seems an interesting car. It's had lots of mods, it has generated a bit of interest, mostly positive. This forum is about TR's and I was interested to know a bit more about the car. Idle curiosity perhaps, but most of the interesting discussions I've had with people about classic cars have led on from idle curiosity. I know someone looking a nice TR6 if he sells his Mondial so it sparked some interest. You seemed to know the car so I suggested you post some information here. However, that obviously seems to be too much trouble and you'd rather keep it to yourself. That's fine. It's been a long day at work and I can't be bothered. Jeez. Sometimes things are just hard work for no good reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
