saffrontr Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hi Steve, It was in the TR Register up until 2010. The owner at the time noted that it was off the road and in fair / good condition. I do have an email address for the last owner if you want me to try and get in touch?

It is a very sound car and in lovely condition, not dull now, very nice paintjob done by a previous owner, who happens to live 3 doors away (small world). It has had a lot of money spent on it over the years and I had it recently valued at TR Bitz, also had the rear half shafts changed, new hood, gear box and dif oils changed plus general service, the car drives extremely well but due to an imminenet house move I may be selling it as I will be keeping my other TR6 that I bought in 1981. I will be very sad to see it go but the new house only has a double garage raher than a triple, which I have now Cheers Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
