haha the TR6 is owned by my brother in law ;).

Love the wheels. rare to find them here. next week i'm on ski holiday, but when i return, we are organising a little shoot.
engine bay is rather nice to, but have no pic's yet.

the camshaft (proper English?) has been changed, and i also placed the valve cover of an Abarth.
has e really nice sound also :).

to bad , the car loves drinking gasoline, like i love drinking beers ;)

In USA easy to find parts? Still looking for the orignal bumperset. love the car without them, but would appreciate it, to have them in the addict ;)

soon there's the classic days @ Spa francorchamps, hope to take it for a spin on the circuit

Hello and Welcome!

Fortunately, parts for these cars are available from several sources here in the USA. You can see them referenced in many posts on this site. These vendors ship regularly to owners outside the USA. There's also a supplier in Germany, Spider Point. Regarding bumpers, you can buy the small chrome bumpers originally supplied on earlier cars with brackets to fit your later model.

Some owners (worldwide) prefer the bumperless look. Others (myself included) like the OEM appearance.

Maybe some video of you driving on Spa?
