Jim reminded me that I had not included anything about his work with the TR6 that I bought him a couple years ago. It was supposed to be ready-to-assemble, but it wasn’t. Lots of the parts were dry-rotted. The engine had never been properly cleaned and refurbished, and would have never worked even if everything else had been assembled. The gas tank had a layer or varnish on the bottom from having been left too long and dried.
He did a LOT of work, and I even helped some with the upholstery, and it finally became drive-able. Even then it needed brake work and a lot of leaky hoses repaired. The photo above was taken in April 2014 when we bought the car.
He joined the Central Coast British Car Club, and quickly became enamored of their various excursions to local museums and road trips. Here he is below, on a recent trip, enjoying the top down during some typically-gorgeous early fall California weather.
