simonjrwinter Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Nick and welcome. Car looks great, Mark has an excellent reputation on here and is one of the community so you've bought from one of the best sources (no, nothing to do with me) I'm still asking "newbie" questions after about 8 years now so don't worry about it.

RogerH Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Nick, if you keep your picture size at apprx 100Kb then you can upload 19 of them. However you will need to delete as you add others. Photobucket is the better long lasting way if a little more hard work. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Lewis Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nice looking car (and garage) Nick, is the interior trim original and grey, (trim code 78)? If so I think its quite rare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nickffc Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Oh, and don't take any notice of the people who say "you should have got a red one".....they are only marginally faster....... Simon actually..... i was looking for a "red one"....! not sure if they are faster as i think black paint is smoother therefore has less drag on the air passing over it when i overtake all those "red cars"..... :) TBH i was concerned about have a TR that was painted in non standard colour but i really like the black at the momnet. i think its much better that the original colour of beigy browny yellowy.....!

Nickffc Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nice looking car (and garage) Nick, is the interior trim original and grey, (trim code 78)? If so I think its quite rare. not sure if its original as the original colour whould of not matched the interior.... and its leather.. all of it including the dash pads.... not sure if that was an original option...?

Nickffc Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 ohhh. was leather an option...? N Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 No leather was not an option on the TR6. It was listed in the parts book but never available. Nice car cheers Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jean Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Welcome Nick, a nice car you have, hope you enjoy it for a long time. Must say it well fits your garage..... Understand you don't fancy yellow, my car is yellow... not my first choice, but you get used to it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nickffc Posted January 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) depends on the type of yellow Jean....inca yellow would of been fine, but it think my car might of been saffron yellow....! no offence if your or anyone esle car is that coiour....!!!

Marc R Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi Nick, Your "Black" TR6 is looking very nice congratulation. In terms of yellow my choice was for my PI the "Jasmin Yellow" (also not too common) a light color vs your Black one. By the way, your garage is a dream .... Hi Jean, I think your TR6 is also Jasmin Yellow? Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Mine was Saffron. No offence taken but with black Revolutions it was more of a head turner than red, blue, or Inca. IMO of course and only bettered by Topaz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 .................................TBH i was concerned about have a TR that was painted in non standard colour but i really like the black at the momnet. i think its much better that the original colour of beigy browny yellowy.....! ..................... it think my car might of been saffron yellow....! no offence if your or anyone esle car is that coiour....!!! ......Saffron is the new red (ask Pogo ), so that's me a Derek (SaffronTR) offside - only joking! Welcome to the joys of TR6 motoring Nick, your car looks good and will no doubt serve you well, as Mark only sells quality TRs. Happy TR'ing Cheers Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Andrew Your detailing as paid off Saffy is looking fantastic, the more I see her the more the colour grows on me. Welcome to the fold Nick, my first 6 was black regret selling , I'm restoring a WHITE 69 6 carn't wait to get her back on the road and put that stupid TR grin back on my face.
