Did it give any trouble: Generally no – its actually a remarkably reliable car. The lucas mechanical fuel injection system was always weak and in 2001 I took it to a TR6 specialist in London who replaced the entire fuel injection system and gave the car a virtual mechanical rebuild. Since then the car has been like new to drive and is now quite economical also.   |

Where did I buy it: I bought it in the UK in August 1993 was in Wiltshire – brought it back on a transporter on the back of my Mk 3 Golf diesel. Still remember the beautiful English countryside in the nice August sun.   Where did I find it; I had been scouring ‘Practical classics’ magazine for months – and so had a good idea about quality/price – but on reflection I was very ‘green’ about buying classic then – the cost/quality should only be one of many considerations – such as originality.   |

How much did it cost: £5,400 – it was fully restored in 1990 and drove fairly well so I considered it a fair price – but no bargain.   How much did it cost to bring in. That’s the bad bit – I thought it might cost a few hundred pounds. NO NO – Mr taxman wanted £2,500 from me as they said it was an almost pristine classic and because it was a 2,500cc engine they wanted another few hundred as some other ‘levy’   |

When my dad was choosing between an elise and a TR6 decent TR6s were going for around £12k!!
