Offering all the thrills of a 2-seat sports car, t's a fun, nexpensive way to get into the hobby or a great addition to a collection of any size. In case you missed, es we said it was a one owner car. The car was actually purchased new right here in Fort Worth, X!An evolution of the TR4/TR5 body, he TR6 still manages to have a unique look all its own, hanks to a redesigned grille and headlights, s well as a squared-off rear end that gave it an aggressive, lmost muscle car appearance. It manages to look like a bigger car than it actually is, hich is undoubtedly part of the reason for its sales success in the US. Shockingly, his car appears to be wearing 100% original paint save for the blacked-out tail panel, hich was repainted more than 20 years ago. The body panels fit well and don't show any signs of the dreaded British tin worm and after a life in Texas, hat shouldn't be a surprise. The bumpers are the later-style with the big rubber overriders, ut they look right on the TR6 and the luggage rack almost makes it practical. In short, his is a car you will be proud to drive and show, nd it's an absolute blast on the open road. This one also comes with a matching hardtop as well, rare find for the TR6.Inside, here's no mistaking that the British crafted the black vinyl interior.

With a real wood dashboard full of original Smiths gauges, t definitely has an Old World feel, nd the dash has been replaced so once again, ou won't have to worry about deterioration due to age. The three-spoke steering wheel begs for a pair of string-back driving gloves and you'll find that the shifter is a delight to row through the gears. That may very well be the original top, s it carries the correct reflective strips, nd the car includes a factory hardtop, oo.Mechanically, t's powered by a burly 2.5-liter inline-six, hich provides plenty of power for the featherweight car. Torque is impressive, specially down low, nd it's obvious that the car was tuned with American enthusiasts in mind. It was rebuilt in the late 1980s, erhaps 30,000 miles ago, o it's still robust and ready to enjoy. Thanks to a pair of side-draft carburetors and a dual exhaust system, t makes wonderful roadster sounds, nd you'll be downshifting just for the sheer joy of listening to the engine. The engine bay is tidy, ut not restored, o you won't hesitate to hit the road on the next sunny summer day.
