Remarks: This car was partially disassembled and needed an
engine overhaul and suspension rebuild when purchased as a driver. After
completing our TR-3A, we decided that the TR-6 needed a more thorough "clean
up" and that ended up as a frame-off restoration. We drive this car
when we can but it is noisy and can be uncomfortable in city traffic; however,
it's great on open roads. My son Jeff would like to become proficient
at autocrossing this TR-6.
