I decided to sell my Ford Capri Brooklands I couldn't get to like the car, and by luck I saw a mint TR6 for sale so I am now the proud owner of YOD404L , a 1972 Damson

I thought about this a few years ago, not being able to see the indicator light on the dashboard with the refection of the sun, so I managed to pick up an audible indicator unit from a motor cycle shop that replaces the indicator unit in the passenger footwell.
It is a straight swap, just audible, it was little too loud at first so I put some insulation tape around it to deaden the sound a bit. It was less than £20 as I remember. Works well and done in a couple of minutes

Just found this, the TR6 wind shield frame was coloured up to CP500001 and black after that.
-
Yes 1969 had colored screen frame, then black . it was just the sills painted black for all years , thanks for the info Gordon.
-
A quick question, did all TR6's have black painted sills, Thanks Gordon

This was the garage 4 years ago but since then I'v had a reshuffle and a carpet fitted
-
Found this in the garage the other day TR6 flasher lamp in original Lucas box, presume it's for the Italian market as it has clear/white glass, original factory unit. Could take to Stoneleigh next week if anyone is interested. Looking for £150 money will go to the [ British Heart Foundation ]

I Had the same problem this weekend, setting off for the Gold Cup at Oulton Park; there was no pressure on the brake pedal and after investigating the reservoir was empty and it had leaked between the master valve and the servo
I have been told it can be repaired with a new seal kit; is this true? and where could I source original parts rather than something of inferior quality. I do have a spare original master cylinder, does anyone think this would be ok to fit or would it have perished?
Thanks Gordon

I bought my TR6 in 1981 the car had never been modified the car is a UK car it had Union Jack decal on it then, the car was Mallard Blue ,as for the UJ flag Decal being fitted to over seas cars only I think it was once mentioned then it became a common misconception.
I must say I like flying the flag
