I bought this car a few years ago from its second family in Texas (sold because they needed to convert the garage for a new child) and unfortunately need to sell after putting some work into it, as I moved to the city.
The car is so much fun - runs great, no leaks, sounds terrific, and turns heads everywhere. It is currently being stored at my parents' place out on Long Island and I am sad to see it go. Interested buyers are welcome to come see the car, my father is flexible on showing times.
The history of this car is as follows. Came off the British Leyland assembly line in Oct 1975 and was delivered to Phalen Motors in Fairfield, Ohio. Original owner purchased car from Phalen Motors in March 1976. Second owner (Texan Family) purchased car in September 1982 with 49, 848 miles. The car was driven in Texas for several years before she was put into storage due to the driver health issues. The TR6 now has 54, 901 original miles.
The following improvements and upgrades have been made to the TR6, including:
- Fluids: All fluids in the car have been flushed and replaced.
- Engine: New spin-on oil filter assembly. Recent valve lash adjustment. New valve cover gasket. New oil pan gasket.

- Exhaust: New Falcon Stainless Steel Sport Exhaust System (dual exhaust system). Sounds fantastic.

ENGINE/ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine is in top running condition with around 125 psi measured in all cylinders. Starts and runs perfectly with no smoke or usual noises. And with SU HS6 carbs the choke is not needed to start a cold engine. Engine compartment has original paint with no rust. Emissions components have been removed (worthless on a TR6 anyways), but I have all original equipment and will deliver with car if desired.

All gauges are original and functional. All soft dash pieces are original and in great shape with only a few minor cracks.
