Bout same as TR6 I would have thought ?? At least they should be Road Tax free! TR6 does not have best reputation for road holding or handling - thanks to the £$^% rear suspension set up! Good TR4 or 4A with the beam axle is actually much better.
Has your FinL read 'Triumph TRs - The Complete Story' by Graham Robson ?? Good read - worth while buying/begging/borrowing it before buying a car!

Well, the next family member has been chosen. The dealer we got it from has some little bits of work to do and we should be able to collect in a week or so.... Look out for him/her/it (need a name) and web meets and shows

Very nice indeed - and one of the very earliest ones -so tax free!
Cost £1,339 when new. This was described then as 'realistic' - although the underlying feeling was that it was 'a bit expensive'!!
Well done -enjoy.

Where's the luggage rack for the kiddies PSL? Can't imagine they will let you and Lisa go off without them!

That really is a good looking car and looking at the engine bay it must have been well pampered

Thanks Kevin... It has an absolute mountain of receipts and history so we hope so

TRs up to 6 have 'kiddie' seats - only the 7 was strictly two seater only!

Yes, you can get a little rear seat conversion... But I prefer the kids in the boot anyways

Oh - I didn't know it needed a 'conversion' - I though there were 'perches' provided!

Yes but just carpeted over the steel floor so wouldn't be too comfy
