Continued from TR6 Page 1
All of the interior was fitted next in final preparations for certification
because the TR6 was originally a left hand drive vehicle. The process
turned into a three week ordeal; the car passed with flying colours
but the paper work took time to process. Still we got there.
A considerable number of parts were required for the car which were
all purchased from Renown Triumph - three quotes were obtained before
anything was purchased. We had little mechanical knowledge to begin
with and often it took up to three times to get it right!
It helps when undertaking a restoration to have an understanding wife
with a sense of humour. I worked about 7 hours a day for 6-7 months
to restore this beautiful TR6. Any restoration involves many skills
and many thanks to all the people for the help I received. The end result
is a great Triumph which I use as much as I can and enjoy immensely.
John Ruske.
One very proud owner!
