I must admit that I was never a great fan and I'm not certain if that has changed significantly. However I decided that this winters project would be something different that I had no experience of and could be obtained a 'sensible' cost. With the cost of other TRs approaching £20k and even total rust buckets over £10k this was remarkable value at £5k. One drive and I could see the development work that went into the design, its no MX5 but lightyears ahead of the creaky and rattly TR6 that I looked at that was over twice the price. Its solid and as good in the flesh as in the pics with just the right amount of jobs to keep occupied until next spring.
Also, I intend to use it over the winter months when the weather is too inclement for the Morgan to go out and play as long as the roads aren't salted.
John, I believe the valve seats are hardened and I've spoken with Steve (Parker?) of S&S and this car has his personal approval.
