I own a 69 but must admit. I've watched this video 100's of times and just love it. I'm not a purist. These cars are handsome and with the GTR power train. Actually sounds similar to standard 69 TR6. A real sleeper. Love It !
If you are curious...The L should be there in the comm #....stands for left hand drive....if it had an O next to that....so an comm # ending in LO, that would be left hand drive with overdrive.
A lot of work and is unusual to say the least. It is that sort of car shape that attracts unusual builds...i have a standard cp version so have no clue what is going on with your one....great build quality.
I love the crash pad delete / body color as opposed to black vinyl. Some fab was required to tuck that metal lip under (front, facing the cabin), correct? Looks pretty 'dashing' I must say 😄
TR6 wipers should park just like a modern car, maybe a bad ground or failing wiper motor? Where is the secondary / safety hood latch? If it was built in 1968 and sold in 1968 it's a 1968. Judging by the VIN it's a very early (# 1584) model. The "L" in the VIN is for left hand drive "USA/ Export Model".
not liking that dash very much, wonder why the builder didn't stay with the original wood? plus those fat wheels/tyres sticking way out beyond the wheel arches, I guess that might be because of the disc brake conversion on the back? very nice car though and lovely sounding exhaust.
That early commission number plate carries a date that refers to the emissions spec to which it conforms, not the build date. It is misleading. Later the plates were enlarged and move to the driver side B post. These plates carried the build date. The first TR6s were manufactured in Q4 of 1968 although they were 1969 model year cars
Mods is one thing, generally like the classic cars being beefed with modern tech like the dashboard etc, what throws me off a bit is the turbo.. it should have been a naturally aspirated engine. Is it still on the market?
That thing is freakin awesome.

Those old british cars are just as cool as Ferraris they just didn't have the power.
I think cars like this are going to become insanely popular.
My dad had a tr6 from early 70s he loved it... rip dad🥺🙏🏴

It's not a TR6, it's now a TRB26.
Rb25 is not gtr
Wow……love to hear the new horse power at work versus the my original 104…..
In the US perhaps.
This is a real super car !!!!
Lust, drool! Also, in character with a straight six, not another V8 in a car with a straight 6 heritage.

This was withdrawn from that bat auction. Is it still available?
For sale as of 25 days ago on Facebook marketplace. Listed for $30k from a guy who bought it for $50k.
seriously has this sold?
Didn’t make the TR-6 till 1969 - They made the TR-250 in 1968 !
Yes, to see that plate stamped 1968 is very puzzling, was it moved from a TR250??

Dash is the only thing I don't like, should be wood.
Is the TR-6 still for sale?
How much?
