Subject: Re: [TR] One owner 69 TR6 @ 60k miles

Eight months ago I came across a smallmouth TR3 which was the worst case =
of rot I have seen to date. I bought it as a parts car but as I left =
the seller said his father had bought the car new in 1957, had gotten =
married in it, and had driven it from one coast to the other (with pics =
to prove it). The old man was now in a nursing home and his wish was =
that he could get one last drive in the car. So the seller (his son) =
asked if he could buy it back if I were to restore it.
=20
Yesterday I fired the car up and went through all the gears and =
overdrive with the car in the air (since it was raining here). This has =
been the most time-consuming and frustrating restoration I have done, =
but (apart from putting a couple of hundred miles on the clock) it is =
done =E2=80=93 see pic.
=20
Sadly the old man passed away last month. He was cremated, but the =
family has delayed the funeral until June so I can get the car finished =
and back to them for dad=E2=80=99s last drive !!
=20
It is a touching story and I am glad to have played a part in it. Watch =
out for an article in VTR later in the year.

Oh =E2=80=93 and the reason I replied to Geo=E2=80=99s email? Because I =
will never take on a rust bucket like this again !!!

At this point in my life I only buy rust free cars with their original =
paint - I am not smart enough to judge a car's condition once it has =
been re-painted and I am too old to recover from bad surprises. I can't =
say what the TR6 is worth but a savvy buyer should be willing to pay a =
premium for that condition.
