hahaha Paul - I had forgotten the Bovril and sheep solution!

Alec's right Paul - I went to school in N. Yorks...

I thought CA blackplates were only issued between 1963-1969? I heard that a Bill had been issued recently allowing such plates to be put on genuine period cars.

Great story Paul - very well written (I finally found some time to sit down with a coffee and enjoy it).
I think it is about time the TR Italia Registrar had his own Italia page on the TRR website don't you?
(p.s. I didn't know you had a 550 - it's on my top ten list of cars to acquire in the next 10 years...!)

Change of number plate on #54?

Interesting comments today from the US. Is that another Italia owner?
Reserve still not met. I bet he's holding out for mas o menos $50k (with $40k resto fees in mind).

The ERTL 1/18 are great, I have 3 of them in red.. blue and BRG. 1/43 I got about 10 with and without hard top.
I had one made in jasmine, the paint scheme of my TR6. The foto isn't too good
Thanks Jean for the post. I liked the Italia models on Derrezmodels.nl (Paul Harvey - have you seen that?). I could not find any TR6s on his website though...

Just had an update email from one of the model shops that I subscribe to; this caught my eye.
No connection, just passing it on to those who may be interested...

I've got two in my collection - a white one just like my own 6 and a green one bought from the oracle otherwise known as Alec.
Question whether there are any decent 1/18 scale models out there? Stallie suggests there is...

Reminds me of that anecdote about Dame Fonteyn de Arias, who was at a party also attended by Jean Harlow.
In conversation, the latter kept referring to the former as Margott, pronouncing the "t". The former ballerina, exasperated, eventually retorted "The 't' is silent, as in Harlow".

Keeping an eye out on behalf of Prospero, if I remember correctly
As well as taking out all that stubborn dirt.

TR6 back home nicely.

Got the 6 back yay! Drove back from Maastricht 100km no problems, got in to Brussels and it was running lumpy, like a kangaroo. Fuel pump was hot and wining - I think it is a filter/membrane issue. It sat for 90 minutes whilst I went for lunch and was running just fine...
Weird.

Any Photos David?

I am so bloody furious right now.
Just had a call from my man Rolf at Red Baron - they have had a moment to look at the car (they were prepping the racing cars last week http://www.redbaronclassicracing.com/).
Rolf has just taken a look at the car this morning. He put it back together again. It appears that after closer inspection there was a very small tear in the metering unit vacuum hose and the metering unit setting had been re-set to idle... With a cheap as chips hose replacement and a couple of hours work (mainly putting the car back together again) and re-setting the MU - he has got it running very smoothly. The tear would have been difficult to spot on inspection but appears to have caused the MU to suck from the outside... He said he cannot understand what Lemaco were doing as if they had gone about inspecting the car properly they would have eventually spotted this fault. I can only think that the MU setting came about as they were playing with it.
We are now just over three months after I first took it to them. I am never going back to Lemaco. That's for sure (and I am certainly not going to pay them for their efforts). We live and learn folks, we live and learn.

What Battery do I need for my TR4?
in General TR Technical
Posted
To push this thread along and to broaden it - I am going to replace the battery on the Six this weekend. I went down the local bits shop and they had a selection of Yuasa, Varta and Bosch. But I was not entirely sure which size...
Any recommendations?
