I thouht Bob Tullius, of Group 44 fame, had it....housed with his P-51. Understand he donated the airplane to some museum in England, but don't know about the TR.
I know the VTR doesn't own much, but this seems like a good candidate to keep around for it's originality...We'll probably see it show up on Barrett-Jackson some year.
Take care Bob

Dale,

Maybe you should try to move past the whole "Pedro" thing. After a while it gets a little moldy.

The Henry Ford Museum is about 45 minutes from the house, and I haven't been there in nearly forty years! Maybe I should take a short drive one of these weekends and check it out again.
The Chrysler Museum is five minutes from work, and I've <u>never</u> been there.
How many of us have similar attractions nearly in our back yards that we never visit?

I lived in Speedway Indiana for 25 years before I finally went to the 500 race. What was I thinking?

I have been to the Dearborn museum both as a child and as an adult. Quite a remarkable collection. Henry was a strange dude in some ways but he had a real sense of history -- e.g. the chair Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot is displayed not far from the car JFK rode in Dallas.

He moved Edison's entire lab (building and all) to the grounds. Had the man himself sit in his old chair and re-enact the illumination of the first incandescent on the (50th?) anniverary of the event. Before Edison could stand up Ford had a team of carpenters move in and fasten the chair to the floor so it would never again move from that spot. Like I said -- a real sense of history.

the Ford Museum is fantastic...a must see destination anytime you are in Michigan or Ohio.

The Chrysler museum is also good but about 1/20th the size and scope of the Ford. Lots of displays/info on the Hemi cars, 60's performance, etc.

I live about 20 minutes from the museum and go there frequently. I have never seen a TR6 there, the only LBC I can remember is a Red MG-TC. I agree with Bob that Bob Tullius has the last TR6 built (I read that somewhere).

BTW, I agree with the others that the museum is definately worth the trip. Next door is Greenfield Village, which is great as well ... they have two great car shows each summer.

Those of you coming to the VTR National Convention next summer should definately make this one of your stops.

Bob Tullius had the car at Mid Ohio several years ago. It was for sale along with his TR8 race car.
I remember the 6 being brown, if that is any help.

Old news but Paretti Imports of Baton Rouge owns 2 untitled 1976 TR6s. I have seen them. In storage. Green one and white one. Both hardtops. Pretty interesting.

Well, the last TR6 is at least one that they don't have at the British Motor Heritage Centre in Gaydon. They've got the last Spitfire, Stag, MGB, Midget, and Wolseley 2200.
