We are the second owners of this 1976 TR6. I found this car (through a friend) owned by the original owner, a preacher in Roseville, CA.
The car originally
wasn’t for sale but persistence paid off and we made a deal.
This beautiful TR6 has less
than 70,000 miles. on it. Many years ago it was driven into his out back building, covered and parked. The car’s paint and interior was really – and I mean really
– bad.
Fortunately, there was no rust and the body was straight. I drove
it home proudly, despite the rusted out and very loud exhaust system.

We had a professional frame-on restoration done including custom paint and interior (no kits).
The engine, transmission, differential, and electrical system are all new. The head was ported, polished, and put on
the flow bench with the result that the cfm was increased by 45%. I replaced the SU carburetors with Webbers, which I’m
real happy with… but they took a lot of tuning. The engine is now producing around 150 hp.
We drive it up to 3,000 miles a year. We enjoy motoring events with our
club and going to car shows in Northern California. As long as we own this car it will never be trailered. This one is a driver:

I put in a lot of sweat and tears, but it was worth it... I think??? No... I'm sure!
