We didn’t know what we were getting, we just knew it was free to us.  And small. My memory told me it was red, but maybe dark green.  :lol:  It had been 8-10 years since I had seen it.

The previous owner had it for 12-15 years, untouched.  It was last registered in 2004 in Illinois.  
 

I got it to run yesterday on spray!  It sounds great and there is bright hope!

@Pullstart  Kevin if you need any information or assistance with that car I have my very close friends Tony and Carol in West Virginia that are experts on it. They collect them, fix them and show them.

Some years back a friend bought a TR6 and insisted I take it for a spin. It was pretty darned cramped and uncomfortable for this 6’2” guy. At the end, I needed help to get out of it.

I will be looking for the oil dampener cap for the top of one of the SU carburetters, it is stripped out.  I’d love to chat with your friends, after all if they are friends of yours, they must be good people!

Great score! I learned to drive on British sports cars. When I was 16, my older sister had an MG.

When she would go out with her boyfriend, I would "borrow" her car and cruise around the neighborhood learning the stick.

After that, all I drove was sports cars for many years. Loved them, still do.

Good luck on that project!
