TimC Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hi - wondered if anyone could provide any info/guidance on coach line stripes on TR6? Were they fitted standard from factory at all? only to certain colours? if so does anybody have any references to exact position of the stripe - ie where shld it start and stop or should it go to the very end of front/rear wings? thks Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

richard61 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 As far as I know the cars did not have a factory supplied stripe, but my damson six looks great with a gold one . It is lined up [ see what I did then] as Mark's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sapphire72 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 The TR6 had this optional stripe kit: http://trf.zeni.net/TR6-TR250GB/337.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OAF939M Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 What can I say? Mine has a very small width stripe from front to rear. Plus the chrome /stainless trim running along the bottom of door line front to rear. I understand you only see these on straight cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Bottomley Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 My 74 TR6 has a white stripe on British Racing Green paint applied by a previous owner. A point to note is that a self adhesive tape stripe has been used. It looks OK, however the adhesive softens in sunny weather (possibly not helped by the dark paint) and it is easy to move the line accidentally e.g. when fxing the tonneau. I would recomend a painted coachline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 The USA stripes were an American importers' product, as opposed to a factory product, and as far as I know were never made available outside of the North American market. Simple coachlines are another matter, not a standard UK factory issue but not uncommon for them to be applied by UK dealers as part of a 'special edition' or simply a deal sweetener. Whether the Malines/Mechelen assembly plant ever used striping I know not, but doubtless one of our Belgian contributors has the answer ? Cheers, Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites
