My TR6 had more of a stumble.  This was many years ago.  I regapped the 
plugs and it went away.  I see you have those Bosch things and regapping may 
not be an option but maybe some new plugs will give different results.

More recently (last week, actually) I had what sounded like a miss.  For 
some reason I decided to check my valve clearances and found two valves had no 
gap at all.  (valve seat recession?)  I regapped the valves and the miss 
went away.

There's a couple of Ideas.
