Hello All,
As recommended by Dave and Tom here are my questions;
I joined BCF because I am trying to decide if I actually want to take the plunge and buy a TR6. I have always loved the TR6 but never had the money or opportunity to buy one. I did own a 1973 Spitfire for a couple of years way back in 1978-79 and did a lot of work on it (rebuilt the motor) pretty much on my own. That was a fun car to drive. The TR6 has been in my mind since I retired a couple of years ago. I am still undecided whether or not I actually want to take the leap, but I'm not sure I want to do all the work that may come with it...:concern: I've been doing my research and looking at what is available out there. Lots of choices from fully restored to start from scratch (don't think I'll be doing that). I will peruse this site and others to help me make up my mind.
A few questions come to mind: What would be the best year to look for? With OD or not? Should everything be original? What after market add-ons are good? (ie. electronic ignition and such). What is he best online marketplace to look for a good candidate? Any and all opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
