There are all sort of pleasures to be had with classic cars and we are committed to providing each and every one of them to all of our customers.
Millennial trash. Little boy shorts and no socks.. give me a friggin break.. you look like a fool. You all engineered this to be the center of attention and the car was second fiddle.
7/21/2019 You say the car has 98,000 miles. If it had 300,000 miles, it would still be true statement to say that the car has 98,000 miles. My question is does it have more than 98,000 miles. And how do you know that the odometer has not been replaced? The car is 44 years old. If it has no more than 98,000, that’s an average of 2,227 miles per year, or equivalently, 6 miles day. I ask you do you really expect us to believe that a 44-year-old car only has 98,000 miles? Come on!
These cars are not super fast but they are fun to drive. My TR4A is still faster than a TR6. The 6 cylinder has more power than my 4 cylinder but the 6 adds extra weight. I prefer the years without the big rubber bumpers. I love both the TR4A’s and the TR6 designs. They never will go up in prices like a small early small bumper 1970’s Porsche or what I have seen with the Ferrari 308 and 328. They are a good looking affordable British sports car. For me I like those designs more than an MG. I like the Austin Healey 3000’s but they will always be more expensive than the Triumphs. I was was never a fan of the TR2, TR3 or the TR7 cars.
What a twat the bloke in shorts is. Totally uninteresting and boring. Take a course on presentation, dress sense and maybe one day you may be remembered but certainly not by me.
Gotta ask... have you ever owned one? Or are you just another wannabe owner bad mouthing reliability you know nothing about on RU-vid? My '72 has never stranded me in ~300k miles, but I service it regularly with a great British Car shop.
I believe, that he worked for Karman. the previous TR bodies were designed by an italian and likely influenced the design by Karman, at least a little, in an evolutionary way. The TR-6 is a beautiful car! ...The Karman Ghia is another masterpiece by Karman!
"British lines," referring to the styling. Well, it is a British car but the design originated with Michelotti in Italy and was refined for the TR6 by Karmann in Germany. Good choices but not British. That said, I'd like to have one.
I get what you are saying, but the brand is British, they used a designer not from Britain, but that doesn't make it any less British as a brand, Volvo recently used a British designer for their new XC40, using your train of thought, makes this new Volvo British ? don't think so.
@@Colin623 Using my "train of thought" the car is British with styling originated by an Italian: Giovanni Michelotti and refined by the German firm Karmann. Words have meaning. My first sentence is reprised here for you to read: "British lines" referring to the styling.' The styling was not done in Britain. I made no reference to "brand." That is your addition, irrelevant to my comment. Indeed my second sentence began:"Well, it is a British car . . " As I have written, words have meaning. Of course, the new Volvo is not British. In fact, the company is owned by the Chinese. Make of that what you will.
Back in the 70's I owned first a Spitfire that I bought new and later a TR-6. I knew they were lacking in build quality but so were most cars of that time period. They made up for their shortcomings in their visceral approach to driving. The only thing that came close was riding my Kawasaki 500.
I like that descriptive word "visceral." In college I had a few days use of an XKE - the six cylinder roadster. I have described driving that car as visceral. It just seems to fit these excellent British roadsters.
Although not perfect, the TR-6 was much more reliable, on average, than the Spitfire. They were both great looking. I thought, that the TR-6 looked the best.
I purchased an MGTD from this company, to ship back to the UK, and had major issues with the title which they said they had, but they never!! They didn't tell me though, just made a series of long winded excuses. Finally got it and was happy with the car.
Nice video! I did the same to my series 3. If anyone is interested on servicing their Jaguar transmission fluid & filter. I have a video with step by step instructions. I make how to videos to help out fellow Jaguar owners. I would be really thankful to anyone who checks out my channel.
Technology has ruined it for classic collectors. More specifically, digital technology. 50 years from now, all these touch screen panels will be obsolete. The OS will be out for generations. Meanwhile the analog classics now will still be viable and collectible. What a gorgeous car. Thank you for sharing
Exciting & fascinating to watch this competition prep for the big race. I love the MGA race-car. Back in 1955 the MGA featured alongside the Wolseley 6/90, Austin Healey 100/4 & Pathfinder in a BMC movie "Against the Clock" where their fastest production cars lapped Montlhery circuit at 100+mph for an hour, so they would cover 100 miles in the hour. This film is on a DVD "BMC Breakthrough" which is on Amazon.My daily driver is a '58 6/90 saloon, built in Oxford at the Cowley plant. She still does 100mph and you will see from my own channel trailer that she still overtakes "moderns" and she still hangs her back end out on bends - despite looking like a respectable old car. She is totally stock (with the AH 100/6 spec motor) and she was scrapped in '87. She sat in yards until 2012 when I recommissioned (NOT restored!) her. Despite still being basically as she was when she was "scrapped" 29 years ago, she flies along and she has just covered 25K miles since recommission (once around the world! - if that does not sound like a big deal, check out my "6/90 Revival" film No.1 to see what she was like at the start and - (being honest) - see how rough-and-ready & basic was the work done to bring her back to life.Great channel, great business. Great to see these fabulous cars living and breathing.
