The TR6 is more powerful, but is not as much fun to drive, IMHO. I think we will need to agree to disagree on this. IMO, the MGB is on the shortlist of all-time great cars. The unibody seemed to have been designed to maximize rust, but otherwise are the best of their type.

...If I could afford it, I'd buy a TR250 -- the TR4 styling, but with a 6 cylinder...
I'd rather have the 4-cylinder. IIRC, the 4 and the 6 had the same displacement, so the 4 had more punch. I think the TR4 also had SUs, which are superior to the Strombergs that came on the later Triumphs.
