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 :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

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? :?
