Does that mean I can have your TR now? yertis said:
I've had one too, and at the weekend (in a moment of weakness) my wife said I could get another! 
Great little machines. Ebay is good for them. I'm looking at a GT6/Spitfire conversion that's on there at the moment. Best of both worlds.
If it wasn't for Simons S3, I would have definately bid on that.
I think it made £1950 without reaching reserve. I reckon a £2000 bid may have secured it.
Curiously, I liked the black wheels.
Look, you can make them a nice daily driver without putting some shitty ford engine in there. And they certainly don't rust like your italian rubbish... 
Seriously, if well protected, rust isn't a big problem. And the straight six engine is pretty tough - you just need to make sure that all the ancillary bits are up together. Put on an electronic ignition system and you'll solve most of the potential problems in one hit.

To avoid the rust, check out the Bond Equipe series - they're all a GT6 is, with fibreglass bodies. And they're cheaper too.
Close, but no banana.
Bond Equipe GT 2+2's were based on a 1300 Spitfire engine, mounted on modified Herald chassis/running gear. The Equipe 4S/GT 2 Liter's were the same, with the use of the 2L Vitesse engine.
In all cases, only the outer body was fiberglass. The chassis/sloor/scuttle are the Herald/Vitess pressed steel items.
As for engine swaps, while more or less anything is possible the easy route is to drop in a Triumph 2.5 lump - with or without Lucas PI fuel injection.

You know that's not an original colour don't you blah blah..." 
Hello 
new to this forum looking at buying a GT6 once my present cars sold, loved them for years and thought its about time i got one. Haven't got the garage space for a project so after an A1 car which has already been sorted, quite like the MKII prefer the shape to the later model. Any advice - pictures would be appreciated.
