Hi to all,
I'm a new member and just bought a '74 TR6. I've always wanted one ever since my cousin bought a new white '71 TR6, thought they were such cool cars. When my cousin decided to sell it a couple years later I tried to convince my dad that it would be my perfect first car at 16, well that didn't happen. Now some 46 years later I've finally bought one. Growing up I went the muscle car route and had a lot of fun and fast American V-8's, Mustangs, Trans Ams, Challengers. But whenever I heard the sound of a TR6 or any British sports car I'd think some day. Now that I live in a small town with no freeways around I've got the perfect two lane highway and back roads cruiser. I bought a good driver quality TR6 and am a fairly decent mechanic. I'm looking forward to doing some maintenance and cosmetic upgrades. First off to remove the rubber bumper over riders and work on either refinishing the wood dash or replacing it. Being that my TR6 is strictly a spring, summer weekend cruiser and not a daily driver I'm looking forward to having a blast. I'll look to this forum for ideas and assistance in keeping my TR6 road worthy.
Thanks Bret

Basil, thanks for the reply. Well my TR6 is being shipped across country as we speak and it should arrive by the end of the week. I'll definitely post some photos when it gets here. It's Carmine Red with a black interior.

If you sit out on the front porch and wait for it, it will get here faster! (don't you wish).
 
Here's a pic of my '74 TR6 as it arrived. Still cold here in Colorado. Now to get it registered and a little warmer weather.. Cheers.

Welcome to the British Car Forum. You have good taste in cars :D
My ‘73 TR6 is currently hibernating for the winter. Good color that you have there ;)
