During the summer of 1965 , I was attending a family reunion, and an older cousin arrived in a new Triumph TR4A. We went for a top down ride, and the TR seed was planted in my teenage mind. By the time I was old enough to buy my own car, the TR6 had just been introduced, and I can remember reading the Road and Track test and thinking this car was the one for me! Other events, however, conspired against me, and my first TR6 purchase was delayed 40 years !
Fast forward to June 2009, my wife and I are attending a British car show, and come upon a beautiful red TR6 that was for sale. She takes a tag with the owners phone number, and 3 days later I'm the proud owner of CF14608U !!
Unfortunately, I didn't have a clue about buying an old British sports car, and I soon found out that beauty was truly only skin deep !
Our 90 year old friend Bob had been an Army mechanic during WWII. He was in Europe and helped keep General Patton's tanks and trucks rolling !
