Very nice TR6. I had a 1965 TR4A that I restored and kept for 10 years. Sorry I sold it for a BMW Z3.

I agree and it’s one of the reasons I looked for one that is as new with all modern parts, ie water, fuel pumps are Bosch instead of the original Lucas crap

Lovely looking car, great choice. Takes me back in years when I use to own a 72 Model. If memory serves me correctly, they were Lucas Mechanical Injection with a Lucas Fuel pump that stopped working when they got hot - only solution was a pack of Frozen Peas. Late Fuel pump updates were of the Bosch Type, a complete Bosch Injection system was also developed although some tuners preferred triple Webers Carburettors .
Revington TR are good for upgrades. Has the car got the 150 BHP installed.

Hi,
I always thought that the Lucas Injection system was driven mechanically by the Distributor through the Metering Unit and the Fuel Pump pressurized the whole system.

Wow, such a beautiful car
There’s nothing better than old school looks with new school technology
Sadly I never owned such a classic car so I have no stories to tell
I did however have a Ford MK4 Cortina 2ltr GL as my 1st car, does that count?
