Tom,

I definitely agree about the reliability difference between the two cars. I drove the 280SL on a 400 mile trip right after buying it without any reservations about the reliability. The TR6 is of course another matter. But I've had my fair share of experience in fiddling about with English cars so I'm prepared for the future. My former TR6 was indeed a constant headache, but that was because of neglect by the previous owner. The one I just bought has been gone through stem to stern and there is $19,000 worth of documentation to back it up. The first mods the TR will get are Spax coil overs for vintage racing and the triple Weber 40DCOE carburetion setup. Both already on order from Victoria British!
