Reference Books and Upgrade Costs

Thanks very much. That is great advice about Todd. I don't really want a white one so perhaps when I actually pull the trigger I will contact him. I...

Thanks for the help. I won't post again unless/until I get one....

[JonS]

Yes, but step one in getting one is determining which one. Which one depends on what work I think is needed and how much it costs. This seems perfectly...

[JonS]

I could not find what I was looking for so here is a new post. I have been looking at a couple of TR6s and some look appear to have fresh engines while...

[JonS]

I just saw this. I am in the process of just about committing to getting a TR6 after poking around for a while. We moved to Santa Fe about 3 years ago....

[JonS]

I was not clear if you meant the car I was posting about, or another one. Did you mean Tom Granacher's car?...

[JonS]

Thanks. Is there a link to look at it. I am not sure I like white, but getting more information is always good. I have some excellent documentation...

[JonS]

This is interesting as well, White is not a color I had considered. As I noted, I have been exchanging email with someone with a 1971 that appears to...

[JonS]

Yes, we spoke about the color and I asked him to send me a picture of the name plate which should show "17" for the color. He said it does...

[JonS]

Did you happen to see the 1971 below the primrose one? I have been in touch with the owner who did most of the labor on the frame off restoration. This...

[JonS]

Thanks very much for the pointer. Another great example - I don't think I want primrose though :-). There was a listing for a 1971 just below but the...

[JonS]

No warranty. I am not going to be unreasonable (IMHO :-)) about this but the current owner must have some documentation and some history. Yup, about...

[JonS]

Thanks. I guess the reserve is $27,500 or close to that. From what I can tell, it would take about 4k to covert to OD. I should be able to make a decision...

[JonS]

Thanks very much. Still learning the part names.

[JonS]

I was finally able to get in touch with the people at West Coast Classics. Indeed it had previously been listed for sale and not sold. There is less...

[JonS]

Very interesting. You are suggesting they have placed this car for sale several times without selling it. As people have pointe out, there is not much...

[JonS]

Would you expand on this a bit....

[JonS]

This discussion is helping a lot. I think I have more flexibility in terms of color (e.g. Signal Red, or Triumph Racing Green - which I think is the darker)...

[JonS]

Thanks, the action on this car expires this week so I won't buy it. I can pay cash for the car but was thinking if I financed a bit, I might have $$$...

[JonS]

I have been trying to call, but no luck. I just can not do this, this week. I am sure another will come up, perhaps it may take some months. This particular...
