Default Tr6

i used to rebuilt these in the 80,s 90,s as a hobby
they were quite rotten back then
i even used to paint them myself (cellulose back then)
i used to buy them for £500
and sell in that condtion for £2500 - £3000
if only i had saved them all

you have a beautifull looking TR6 there and id love another especially like that one

Ok ok I admit it - it was me lol
I always fancied a final edition S8 and as a lot of you know this particular one is a lovely example and couldn't have been looked after by a better owner than David. She's now tucked up next to V8 GUD and may well get bestowed the S8 GUD number plate shortly! Just a personal note to thank David for being the perfect gent to deal with and putting up with the vagueries of the weather until my delivery driver could collect it today!
