We are in agreement. They had more problems than the typical British sports car.

If anyone wants a lead on a "original" owner 1974 TR6 for sale with 64k miles . . let me know ASAP (I doubt Rob will text me). Its in the Chicago area. No idea what he's asking but I have all the other details. Heck, call him yourself - David Sparks, 312-933-7683. Probably asking too much, but you'll only know if you call.
