    Background: resurrecting my ’70 TR-6 after a year and a half of sitting with a clutch issue. Got that fixed, but, in the meantime, the gas in the tank went bad. I drained the tank, filled it with fresh gas and a can of “Sea Foam” stabilizer. Started the car several times, but it would not run with less than near-full choke. Drove it for about ten minutes, then it quit suddenly, and would not restart. Removed and cleaned the carbs, put in new needle valves and diaphragms, and checked the oil. All previous oil checks were good, but the oil on this check was very thin, and smelled strongly of gas. Based on the amount taken from my oil sump, I estimate a couple of pints of gas, at least. I suspected a failed diaphragm in the fuel pump, but I removed and disassembled the fuel pump, and the diaphragm looks fine. Any suggestions?

    Hi, I saw a post on Facebook regarding BoB Schallers book on TR3 “more bs about TR3’s”. I was told to contact this register. Can you please let me know how to obtain a copy. Thank you

    Retired and looking to buy my first TR6. A 1973/80,000 Miller

    Had a Spitfire 40-years ago and have been waiting to buy a TR6.

    Will ask for membership if I purchase this vehicle.

    Any tips on what I should be looking for during my vehicle visit and inspection?

    Thanks for any input you may have.

    Interested in buying a TR-6 project car . . . live in Tucson. Interested in talking to those in the ‘know’ re: TR-6s. Getting ready to retire. Talked to John “Kiwi” Treloar who suggested I contact you guys.

    I have a 58 TR3 that I restored 40 years ago. It has been stored
    in my garage since then. I only drove it about 30 miles or less because I has a shifting problem and thought it was the throw out bearing but never ever got around to fixing it as starting my family took different direction. Now I am bored and have time and tools to get it back on the road. I’m thinking I should join a car club and get expert advice before in begin this project
