Pros

These cars are a blast. They are beautiful and catch a lot of attention when being driven. They have plenty of power and were competitive in their day. It isn't fair to hold them to modern day standards and technology. When put in proper shape it is easy to maintain and keep them there. They have a lot of British charm and will undoubtedly increase in value.

Cons

Are best suited for those that not only enjoy driving a classic but also tinkering on one. As with most British cars they like to leave a drop or two of oil here and there. Repair shops outside of large metropolitan areas can be difficult to find.

Fantastic — The appearance, handling, torque and sound of these cars is superb. When brought back to proper condition they are very reliable and can be driven anywhere. They are easy to maintain and parts are readily available. The Lucas electricals get a bum rap but are as good as any other electrical system of the era. There are many modern upgrade available that help improve their reliability and performance.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Tr6 — I loved this car, it might seem old hat to some, but looked fabulous and sounded great. As far as performance is concerned, it was engaging and twitchy, but you wont beat much away from the lights, buts thats not why you buy a TR. Buy one, find a tunnel and try and wipe the grin off your face as you floor the loud pedal.

Every One Needs To Drive This Car At Leas Once — Great paint tone still runs agter 35 years on the road. Has great handling for a car with out power sterring turns before you tell it to. Verey fun to drive and easy to drive has high torque so hard to kill the four speed transmison

A fabulous, proper sports car. A really good classic. A bit squeaky, not brilliant at cornering but the acceleration was fab. You sit low so it feels like you are faster than you really are. Get the ... Read More
