Description:

My partner had me hunting down an old TR6 from the want ads when I got a strange feeling. I felt a Deja Vu coming on but it was all real, I had been here before. Yes the destination 350 cherry street was unmistakeable. I had bought an alpine here 4 years prior for $360 bucks from a wonderful old gent. Alas he had passed and his nephew was selling the cars! all of them, we bought all 6 and this is the last and best to me. A hotrod Healey, built at a shop in Novato, California on Grant street in the late 80's. The nephew remembered his uncle getting the lead and rushing off. When I had been to the see the man before all the cars were tarped tight, now the cars were in the yard, pushed out unceremoniously among the planes, trucks, sailboats and other bric a brac.The car runs wonderfully. silky smooth and idles low, not too lumpy. The holley needs a rebuild. Its dumping way too much fuel in there we suspect. I recently pulled out the clutch slave since it was pissin on me garage floor. Have not gotten around to a new one. Thats the impetus of moving the car along, have not done anything with it, should let another carnut have a go. The car is titled to me and I have dmv records back quite a ways I believe. The vin tag is no where to be found. We looked in the safe at the old mans, and in the cupboards and the nephew asked the uncle to go in the sacred shoebox, nothing. There are recreations online and if no-one wants this car I intend to drive it in the anti football rally here in northern californium January 1st. It very very close to being roadworthy. Are you unconventional and lust for power? well here you go. Just don't expect to brush elbows with the healey guys, they want nothing to do with this. harris. UPDATE: just the flares are fibreglass. the body is aluminum.
