I'm potentially in the market for a TR6. There's a fair few for sale, so want to be putting the money into something that has had plenty of cash already chucked at the expensive things like chassis, body etc. Ideally RHD and would prefer carbs over injectors, unless the injectors are fully sorted.

BRG and red are a bit cliched for my taste, but do like the look of Mimosa Yellow (yellow's my 9 yr old's favourite colour !) and want to get him involved in a bit of spannering. Any colour considered though if it's the right car.

Would appreciate some heads ups on what to look at. The trouble with cars with dealers is they don't know the history like a private seller and rarely keep the same kind of records/photos/invoices etc. They want a quick sale at an inflated price. I want a solid car, at a fair price to seller/buyer.

Paint doesn't need to be perfect, the odd dent or scratch are all part of the fun of ownership.

Many thanks in advance !

All sorted - a few days of research and watching the classifieds and I have put down a deposit on a very nice Sapphire Blue, which has had everything done, meticulously maintained and wants fot nothing.

Thanks RAS - yours does look good. Mine got covered in road grime, as it chucked it down on the way back. I then tucked it away in the garage and am in the process of sorting out a few niggle jobs. I probably driven it 15 yards so far, but loving every minute of getting stuck in.
