Thanks Phil
I'm picking the car up on Monday so I can't go pull the commission number off
the car and in my excitement I didn't write it down. The seller is having a
couple of minor things fixed up under the warranties he still had and he wanted
to use the car in a parade (he's the Grand Marshal) on the 4th and since I was
going out of town anyhow it worked out for the both of us.
The heater is bypassed presently (inlet and outlet hoses are connected on the
engine side). The seller said he didn't want to not be driving the car while he
waited for a new one to be shipped to the repair shop so he had them bypass the
core and then just never got it done after that.
In my search for a TR6 I've seen a few but not a lot of them advertised (Old Car
Trader and Hemmings) with factory air and one with an after-market AC. I could
easily get by in Colorado without it and probably just put a heater core back
in, but I like challenges and since I'm warm-blooded I thought I'd go ahead and
indulge myself.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Bud

Congrats on your new acquisition! What's the commission number? (Some of us
worry about that sort of thing.) Regarding the heater/ventilation; why
would anyone go to the trouble of removing the heater on one of these cars,
unless it was duff and they felt too cheap to replace it? Seems too easy to
just bypass it with a bit of hose and tubing... As far as I know, A/C was
something that was installed on an aftermarket basis, so details of an
installation are probably a cut-and-try thing. Here in New Yawk we don't
need it all that much and I've never seen a car that had A/C.

There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.
