Thank you very much.
You had a TR250? I had a 72 TR6 in British Racing Green.

Beautiful car!

Thanks for posting the pic!

Now just trade those cattle catchers for the original Euro bumpers and you'll be set :-)

Beautiful. Congratulations to you. How about an interior pic? Is it as good as the exterior?

Yes, getting rid of those bumpers is on the list. As far as the interior goes, it has new carpetting, new-never sat on rear seat covers, new-sat on driver's seat cover. Both with new horsehair padding. I have to do my passenger seat. My side pockets need replacing. My dash has a couple of cracks. I'll take pics. tomorrow and post.

IMHO, keep the bumpers and keep any parts that are original to it.

I straddle the fence on customization. If that is your thing, more power to you. If you are going to customize something to make it more personal, understand that you destroy the integrity of the original design, and erase how a car was intended to be.

If you had an original historic document like the Bill of Rights, you wouldn't take a pair of scissors to the edge to make it fit into a frame.

Beautiful car!

However, it seems the amount of blue reflected on the chrome is too saturated.
