Always wanted a TR6 (have another car, so it would be another toy) but dont know much about them. I have gathered, from limited research, that its all about chassis, then body, then engine – and buy the best you can afford. I think I would prefer one that has had a nut and bolt restoration, and would need the car professionally looked at to ensure I dont buy a world of pain. My confusion is fuel injection vs carbs (and double or triple carbs, which ones - su, weber, stromberg). Also, can I please ask for an opinion on good places to source one, and what do people think of these two ?

Both look a little too good to be true (and yes, I know that usually means they are).

Nearly forgot - I get the impression that better (MX5) seats are a must unless you enjoy backpain, as is overdrive ?

Thanks - I was inclined towards the red one too, and will look into the TR Register.
