Currently own a 1973 TR6. It was purchased last April. I've rebuilt the wipers, brakes, carbs, corrected a bunch of wiring mistakes, and a "few" other odd and ends.

I owned a 74 Spitfire in the late 70's...........owned a few Corvettes and Harley's along the way.

Will probably rebuild the engine in the 6 this winter. Don't know to what extent until I tear it down.

I do all of my own mechanic work and enjoy that part of the hobby.

Howdy Ross,

"Welcome" to the BCF. I know your going to enjoy your "Long" stay here with your sweet looking TR6. Is she "White" or "Olde English White"?

I lived in "Clifton" about 100yrs ago & my cousin currently lives in "Hillsdale" paying a ton of $$$ in property taxes ($14K+)!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your background looks more like "Bergen County" as opposed to "Passaic County".

Then I moved to the Poconos & Now in NW SC. This is where LBCs go after they die. This is "LBC" heavan here!! Come on down & set a spel.

See Y`All Later,

Russ

Ross;
I have owned a blue TR6 way back when. I sure enjoyed it, But your color is just great.
Those wheels look great with that color. Nice color combination along with the fabric top also.
Welcome aboard.

Thanks for the pictures!!

I looks similar to the colour of ~My '69 MGB~ , which is an original BMC shade called Snowberry.
