Paul Hill Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 That will look nice I would bet, great colour combo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Topoff Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hi Paul. I think you may be missing a bolt that goes through the boot floor on to the chassis cross rail. Has the spare wheel hook been moved? Cheers Laurence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hill Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Yes hook removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rvwp Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Hi Guys, Looks like I'd better change my ID photo and remove the TR6 and replace with my TR4A! I am pleased with Jonny's enthusiasm over buying my car, I know it will serve him well. Absolutely no chance of ever getting the TR rust demon with its new chassis and new Heritage body panels. Sorry to see it go but 'tempus fugit'. I still have my 4A (and Sunbeam Tiger), so will still be active on the Forum and keeping up with news etc. Happy motoring Jonny.

Rich Thanks Rich - talking to you has given me complete faith that the work you’ve done on it would be everything that I’d want to do, but with the benefit of your background in engineering, I’m sure it will be to a much greater standard. There will be things for me to get stuck in to I’m sure, but that’s half the joy of ownership of an old car, keeping up with regular and preventative maintenance. See you Saturday !

Jonny TR6 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Up at 2.30am for a 540 mile round trip with my chum Rex to collect the TR6. it’s in really nice condition, underside is superb. Got battered by torrential rain on the way home, but the car came through it with flying colours, although totally covered in road grime and spray, so a good wash will be on the cards. Lots of nice little jobs to get stuck into - including swapping out the 15” wheel for a wooden Moto-Lia, although that needs a refurb first. Collection and tucked up at home pics.

Paul Hill Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Bet you were glad you did not have to drive it home in those conditions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny TR6 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Left at 4.30am, but woke up early etc Pootled back at 60mpg where conditions allowed. Think average was about 57 over the whole journey. Already been busy - although it’s Father’s Day, my son was off playing tennis, so I got some man cave time. Will start a new thread with my progress. Already have some things for the forum experts ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel Triumph Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Lovely car, well done for getting her home safely. Thorough cleaning after the trip will be a great way to get to know her better, a job you're bound to enjoy! Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny TR6 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Nige - you’re absolutely spot on ! Nothing like stripping a car right down to get to know it. All good so far :-) Edited June 19, 2022 by Jonny TR6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny TR6 Posted June 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Forgot to mention - about 30 miles outside of Weymouth, around 8.30 am I saw a Carmine Red ? TR6 and gave the driver a thumbs up. I was in the Merc ML towing a trailer. Very spooky - I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road. Easily 10s of years ago.
