65, 140 original miles, clean title,
This car is so much fun to drive, and brings back the days
when the driver was connected to the car and the road. This TR6 starts right up, and that crisp note
of the raspy exhaust tells you it’s time to drive this little beauty. This car was recently refreshed and it
shows! It isn’t 1973, and you can’t buy
a new TR6 anymore, but this one comes close! Top up or top down, the strong torque of the in-line six cylinder engine
kicks in as you accelerate through the gears, with the exhaust sounding like
music to your ears! Whether you’re
carving up the winding roads of the Blue Ridge Mountains, or traveling along
the Pacific Coast Highway, this car stands out and will get you noticed!
This next section is for the gear-heads out there:
The car has lived its life in the South with the original
November 1973 bill of sale from Kingsport Tennessee, and it’s currently kept
garaged in North Carolina. It has 65, 140
miles on it, and a clean title. No rusty
body panels on this car, early in its life, the undercarriage was sealed and
coated with undercarriage spray-on and it has remained rust free. The car has an all new interior which includes
reupholstered seats, new carpet, door trim panels, rear cargo area, and trunk
interior. All rubber trim was replaced
with new, windshield, doors, top, trunk, hood, windows – all of the weather-stripping
rubber is new. All 5 steel wheels were
powder coated and fitted with new trim rings, then 5 new Coker 185R15 3/8“
Redline tires installed (the spare tire has the rubber nubs still on it). The gas tank was professionally acid cleaned
and coated internally. All gauges work just
as they should, new water pump and heater control valve and this car runs cool
in the North Carolina summer heat. There
is an auxiliary electric fan on the front of the radiator, which helps keep the
engine operating at an optimum temperature. No overheating issues at all. A new
battery was installed. A new Robbins
convertible top was professionally fitted; the rear panel is a zippered one so
you can drop the rear panel for excellent airflow as you race down the road.
The stock distributor was refurbished professionally being re-curved
and set up with vacuum ADVANCE by British Vacuum Unit in Canterbury NH. The original distributor was a vacuum retard
unit, and lacked that crisp, quick acceleration you expect from a British
car. But that is no more, the vacuum
advance and distributor rebuild corrected all of that.
New clutch installed; both the hydraulics and the disc. New brake hoses installed all around. There is both a battery cutoff switch and a
fuel cutoff. If you are going to park
the car for extended periods, simply shut off the fuel, allow the engine to run
itself out of fuel, and shut off the battery. When you come back to drive it several months later, just open the fuel
valve, close the battery switch and start it up. The carburetors will NOT be contaminated with
dried, lacquered fuel, and the car will be ready to go!
