New to the forum and just wanted to say Hi. I currently have a 70 and 72 tr6. The 70 was my fathers who recently passed away. He loved the car and I remember riding in it as a kid. Unfortunatley he let it set for about 20 years and now as a tribute to him I have to get it going again. The 72 I recentley purchased off of ebay to help me with the 70. I hope to have both going soon. The 72 needs floorpans and tranny tunnel. The 70 needs---- well everything by now. I'm sure it will all be worth it. I hope at 6' %" and 300lbs I can find a way to fit in them better. Ha Ha. Nuff about me hope to get to know ya'll better. P.S. I won't ask for build sheets. Ha Ha /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif
 
Welcome to the asylum!
You'll find plenty of TR6 onfo floating around here.

best of luck, sorry about your dad, make him proud!
 
What better way?????
 
Always best to spend someone-elses money than your own... And in some cases someone-elses experience, time, and labor too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
It's always great when cars get handed down and stay in the family, they hold more special meaning. The memories double the fun of working on them and driving them.

Welcome aboard and have fun.
 
Welcome to the crazy bin...We're happy to encourage the addiction!
 
Nice to see a British Car stay in the family.
The really cool part is that you can justify spending twice as much money on the project - as opposed to a non-family project!

Woo Hoo, another Stag lover! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
Be prepared to hunt for awhile, since good ones are hard to come by - unless you want to start out with a restoration. Ones with engine conversions will generally sell for less than ones with the original drivetrain. Parts suppliers are a little thin on this side of the Atlantic, but a lot of common parts will interchange with other LBCs.

By all means, be prepared for lots of attention whenever you drive it, and plan on smiling alot - although I wouldn't call them a sports car in the truest sense of the word, they are sporty and a real blast to drive!
 
Thanks it looks like alot of fun to drive. Talked to the seller today and he could not meet with me today. He did say the guy who sold him this one also has 2 TR6s and a TR3 he is getting rid of. I will post info as soon as I get it.
 
Did the same thing.

Hey, I did the same thing with my Dad's Triumph motorcycle. He almost wrecked with me sitting on the gas tank when I was 4. He took it home and parked it in the barn. There it stayed for 18 years. He passed 2 years ago. I got it out last summer and began restoration. It's a nice feeling to be seen by Dad's old buddies sporting around on his Bonneville chopper. It's a nice feeling to me too. I own a 79 Spitfire is why I'm on here. Good luch with your car.
