This is a stunning car in possibly the best colour for a TR6. I bought this car several years ago but only registered it last year. When I first saw it back in 2014, I could see that it was straight and original. All the panels fitted nicely and there was no rust or corrosion anywhere. I was told that this was a one owner from new car, bought new by an American footballer and later becoming a coach. He stopped using it in the mid 1980's and it has been garaged ever since. 

I had the car shipped over from Alabama nearly four years ago. I was going to just clean it, carry out the mechanical work and use it in Spain. However it had a few scratches and the paint was thin in places, so I had it repainted in it's original colour of Delft Blue. The paintwork is superb and I kept all the original panels as they were a good fit and rust free. The interior was shabby, so I replaced it with a new beige leather of superior quality. I fitted an overdrive gearbox and the mechanical side was gone through and brought up to scratch with new components fitted as necessary.

The car comes with a new hood and a steel hard top. It was originally fitted with air conditioning, I see no reason why this should not work with new connectors and a regas, but there is no guarantee that is all it will need. New tyres and wheels have been fitted. The bumpers were rechromed although there are two marks where the rubber over riders on the front were fitted. There is no spare wheel.

The car starts first time and drives just as it should. It is a lovely example that I would have kept if I had taken it to Spain or had the room to store it here. The MOT ran out last week, I will try to get a new one before the auction end. I have a current V5 in my name.

Cash or bank transfer on collection. Viewing recommended, phone 07732776954 for further information.

The car now has a new MOT, it drives superbly with the overdrive operating immediately. I took the opportunity of the Mot to look under the car. The chassis is as close to new as you can get. The sills and inner sills are original and quite unbelievable for a five year old car let alone one that is 46 years old!
