Well, today I dropped off my '76 at a repair/restoration shop that came highly recommended. That said, the owner really isn't a LBC expert, with most of his work focusing on vintage American cars. T

I have a '76 TR6 with a luggage rack that looks quite different from the aftermarket racks that you see on so many 6's. I am told that it is original. It has front-to-back members that are rectangul

My rack (factory, I think) has flat bars that go back-to-front, not tubular bars that go side-to-side.

Author: SamuelsMA@aol.com
Date: Sat, 8 Jul 2006 19:13:00 EDT

Thanks for your help so far on this one. A specific question now: If you move your seat all the way back, what is the measurement from the seat back to any interior reference point behind it. If I k

At the risk of belaboring this A/C thread, I am curious about how effective any of the available A/C systems actually is. I live in Miami, and would certainly use my '76 more in the summer if it had

I second the suggestion for a gloss finish. The P.O. had replaced the initial dashboard with a wood he describes as "quarter-sawn oak" with a gloss finish. It is stained about the same shade as the o

At the risk of opening a can of worms, I think I missed something juicy in the interlude between selling my '70 PI in the summer of 2003 (and leaving this list) and buying my '76 a year ago. Back th
