Lori, at the risk of providing you an "overabundance" of information, I am
passing your note along to a couple of Triumph-related e-mail lists. I'm sure
you will get plenty of good advice from fellow TR6 owners!
I would also suggest looking through the TR6 section on the VTR web site at <
http://www.vtr.org/TR6/index.html>. The prices shown in the Buyer's Guide
section are a bit out-of-date (we'll work on that!), but there's lots of useful
information there. And I would suggest contacting folks in a Triumph club near
you; check the list at <http://www.vtr.org/chapters.html>. Even before finding
your car, joining VTR and/or a local Chapter is a good idea, both for the
expertise available and for possible leads on "local" cars.
Good luck!
List members, please direct any replies to Lori at <Frislie22@msn.com>.
