Thanks birthday 4/12/49 bought my TR6 4/9/79 from the original owner 3 days prior to my 30th for my 30th birthday present to myself 4/9/22 will make 42 yrs. 5 yrs of sorting & the best Master British Car Mechanic Eller's since 1983 got it to the current mechanical level all I do is keep it clean & drive it discovered the more I drive it the more it likes to be driven majority of miles are long distance Riverside, Ca-Seattle/Canada Riverside to Seattle then Colorado so mileage has been the best on mechanical parts as far as wear & tear. You as I are owned by a TR6 so we're part of the TR6 "In Crowd" the select few in the world fortunate enough to own/DRIVE TR6 enjoy it as we know there is absolutely nothing like a TR6 the LOOK/FEEL/SOUND!

As a Biritish admirer of the TR6, I feel honoured (“honored” no doubt in the USA!) to have watched your beautiful car being owned and driven by a proper owner, who uses it with pleasure and doesn’t just keep it in the garage on jacks as “an investment”. These stunning and beautiful cars deserve to be driven. Hats off to you sir. I am absolutely green with envy!

A spectacular example of a stylish sports car. The Union Jacks on the rear quarters do seem a tad overenthusiastic. Were they an export option? The original chrome and enamel badges are still available.

@@greghill7759 Agree nothing like 'em. Early OEM TR6 ('69-'72) came with TR6 lettering on rear quarter panel same as UK depending on colour black or white '73-'76 & those shipped to the USA sported the Union Jack/TR6 rear quarter badging. Changed out during 1990 respray to Union Jack matter of personal taste TR6 encased between Union Jack then too somewhat of a symbolism for those that may wonder, driving British Iron in the USA. Yes you still can hunt/find enamel badges from British parts vendors

The British flag decal appeared on NA spec cars beginning in 1973. Before that NA spec cars carried the open block letter TR6 like the home market cars. By the time 1973 rolled around Triumph knew they weren’t going to bring out a new sports model and they needed another few years out of the TR6. The interior was given new cosmetics. Externally the chin spoiler apppear and the Union Jack on the rear panels. It stood for 20 years of TR, 50 years of Triumph and was so popular, they kept it for the remainder of the run in 1976.
Inspiring! What a great car and you are a superb custodian. You’ve inspired me to use mine more and clock up those miles. Fantastic TR6

@@UCwp7q5nfJxOXx4txsSF thanks for the compliament...they are pretty unusual to drive and for me they are a classic and not something to put a fast engine into as the safety element is not there...no chassis crumple zones...no airbags :) few have roll over bars which now at this age of my life i think is crazy....i will not drive mine until i have a roll over bar which is solid and works. In life we all need an interest in order to get up and go and classic cars are really great.....no wonder we had no mental health issues as children...we were too busy trying to survice... as global warming shuts down these old classics which i suspect it might in the form of taxes, i will change mine to electric so hope to kep mine till i pass to the next world....hopefully that will be Heaven and i hope all the cars will already be fully restored up there and ready for use. take care.

Beautiful TR-6!!! I bought mine new in August 1974. I had to find a hardtop for it and also an overdrive trans. I drove mine all over the country multiple times, including up Pike's Peak once. Loved the car and kept it for almost 25 years. Sold it in 1999 for what I paid for it, $5K, after a lot of renovations. I wonder now whether the new owner kept it. It was not perfect as the renovations I did were not off the frame and included some "bondo" but the car was pretty. I managed to get some wire wheels for it also which for me made it look like a real sports car. Wish I could post a photo of it; it was clean inside and out. Enjoy that ride for as long as you can !!!!

Thank You my interpretation of 43 yrs owning/driving TR6. Most important you have one vs looking, hoping, wishing which instantly puts you in the TR6 "In Crowd" select few individuals in the world fortunate enough to be owned by TR6. Most practical sports car ever in terms of what it takes to get them running & maintained. These days great sources for parts, advice, help. Don't keep in mind the age factor life's short, may want to get it sorted to Drive while you can, choice I made & continue to make Drive 'em while you can, they love it, sitting not running is the worst for TR6

Julius you love this car, it is your toy. I am very impressed with your modifications. Would you consider putting a header on it. I got a tickle when I saw the chromed engine parts. Even the engine bonnet prop. I could not tell if the radiator was chromed, would be very nice. It's great you're in it for the long haul. All the best

Fact told machine shop during 1990 rebuild @150K+ miles keep as close to factory specs no unnecessary bore as I was satisfied with the hp to weight ratio not a quarter horse/racer but long distant thoroughbred @70 mph OD 25.500 rpm all day 26-30 mpg Not interested in a short lived supped up hot rod or desiring to make one of the best/smooth 6 cylinder into a hi-hp V8

I'm thinking of putting a smaller steering wheel than the standard 15" on mine. How do you find the 13"? Is it good for touring and driving the twisties?
@UCwp7q5nfJxOXx4txsSF
2 жыл бұрын
43 yrs I've had numerous steering wheels 15/14/13 inches currently 13" dished. Many think 13" harder to steer/parallel park but then how often do we park a TR6. A dream on touring & twisties vs the bus sized wagon wheel larger wheels one doesn't realize how much time they spend correcting back to center with the massive steering wheels. Then there's the TR6-nitus pain in leg/knee & ankle joints from having leg laid to the side against dash support which is totally eliminated with 13" dish. Changing from 14" flat was hunting 13" flat until fellow TR6 owner let me set behind the wheel of his 13" dished wheel TR6 sold me on it!
I’d be wearing gloves, too! 👍
