1971 TR6 PI, staat sinds 1994 niet op de weg.
Before we brought this, it had an extremely extensive ground up restoration, with only the interior not fully completed.
Back on the road in November 2023 at * 69800 miles (since rebuild it’s only done 1181 to-date). Current mileage * 70981
The engine has had a full strip clean & overhaul and including: new double valve springs and shaft, Piper high torque cam & followers, new rings, new modified pinned thrust washer, new oil pump, new timing gears & chain, new bearings, new water pump, new coolant hoses, new clutch & Injection pump serviced and injection system modifications.
Transmission overhauled with J type overdrive and a 3. 45 ratio diff installed.
Sandblasted wheels & chassis, welded and coated chassis, new Suspension & mounting bushes (some Polybush I believe), ball joints, rack, pipes, hoses master & slave cylinders, brakes, exhaust & 5 new tyres.
Body rebuild with genuine or heritage panels, full painted in Topaz Orange (a US colour) & body sealed on any non-visible areas, sound deadening, wiring loom, lights . . . . you get the idea, the folder of receipts is over an inch thick.
It also comes with installed Mohair soft top (black), hard top (Orange), new Mohair tonneau cover (Black) & (what is believed to be the original and by the looks of it unused) PVC stowed hood cover (white) Chrome boot rack (hard top & boot rack never fitted, only laid in place for photos), the old seats, original distributor/ coil, original oil filter housing & some other spare parts.
Since our ownership it has had electronic ignition, replacement spin-on oil filter housing. Then every body cavity & chassis was wax oiled to within an inch of it's life. The interior has now been retrimmed, carpets, door trims etc, including new walnut dash & fully re-upholstered replacement MX5 (for comfort) seats with matching orange stitching, exterior black body details & matching black steering wheel & discreet stereo/ navigation.

Video here: - details above car was built to stun, you cannot miss it, put it in a row of TR6’s and this is the one you are going to look at.
It’s known history is jumbled, sold from new it was blue delivered to Ireland, it came back to the UK 3 years later, and at some point it was painted red.
Taken off the road in 1994, a restoration was started by several owners but never completed it was finally extensively rebuilt from chassis up & back on the road in November 2023.
So why sell it? this is what beats me up as I truly love the TR6.
I am into motorsport & the intention was to use it in classic events, but it’s just to bloody good!!!
I use my cars & as much as I love driving it, I just cannot bring myself to use it for what I want to do with it & ultimately I bought another car to do that with.
In short it’s just not getting the use and display this car deserves, it needs to be seen and used.
I want it to go to someone who takes it out lets it be seen and admired.
