Tim Bancroft Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Roy,You would not be the first GT6 owner to have taken the Mk1 saloon path. Still keep the faith with the GT6 as your car is one of the best GT6s around, even if not as pretty as a mk2!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard w Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Quoted from TedTaylor My 'black' Alpha ones fit very nicely, have all sort of adjustment, and are very comfortable. Gordon needed a close to the wheel position and I needed to be as far back as possible which these seats coped with fine.Mind you my seats do not have the annoying logo which is nice.MUT My co-driver Enzo says embrace your inner Italian!

TBag80 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 My Sprint did her 1st RBRR without a hitch, showing a grand total of nearly 169000 on the clock at the finish. It was certainly fun, especially the run from Gledrid on the A5/A483 which I know quite well. I took advice about regular use earlier this year & made a comprehensive prep list. Only used 300 quid's worth of fuel, whereas I'd allowed for 400 quid at approx 30mpg! She did her 1st RBRR better than we did, coming home last & totally driver fatigued!

Roger Keys Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Quoted from Alex Ok Roger,more info required.....Manual?Rover ?Looks very nice! Maybe not as nice as it looks though.Stag V8 with ZF 4 speed auto. Monarch Holley conversion, Monarch (i think) tubular manifolds, chris witor lowering springs, Rays lightweight wheels, and bucket loads of new bits. Drives quite nice, though like any car, there is plenty still left to do. Not least the gearbox which doesn't work for 10 mins after a cold start!

Tim Bancroft Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Roger,Looks similar to a car that was shown on this forum in the Stag section, had those wheels on it etc etc.Great that you have another Triumph, good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard w Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Looks good, I do like white for a Stag even though mine's pimento. I've heard good things about the ZF conversion, supposedly much better than a BW. Autos are a mystery to me - but is it too much to hope that the laziness could be caused by something simple like low ATF level.Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly its not oil related. The previous owner has had a good go of checking the obvious. Once its working, its just fine. Car came with a spare and i have 2 more, so am sure it will get sorted out when i can spend some time on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, it almost certainly will be the same car. Great i have another. Not so great that its even more stuff for me to do. On the upside, it drives, which is more than can be said for the others!And i cant think of a better car to do the 10 countries in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJP Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Talk about luck, took the Stag out yesterday on its nice new shiny wheels when 5 miles up the road the Alternator light came on. Phew - good job it happened now and not on the RBRR, drove home, opened the bonnet to find the alternator bracket (relocated Tony Hart Version) bolt had sheared and it was resting on the exhaust manifold complete with melted wiring! The bolt has sheared off in the head so not an easy fix. Lucky that it didn't happen on the RBRR as it would have been impossible to fix as it looks like its a rad out job to extract the broken bolt. The immediate solution will be to put the alternator back in the original location on the lower right side of the engine but need to source the bracket first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warphi1970 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 HI everyone, being inspired by your tales of what seems to be a fantastic event i just have a chassis up restoration on a 13/60 Cabrio to complete, just about got it stripped down need to start putting metal where there are holes etc good news is its got a sweet engine an FH from a spitfire with twin 1" 1/4 so should motor along nicely if i can get it back in one peice lol. Thanks to the guys and gals at the Bristol meet (including TR register, 2000/2500 club etc) who identified plastic bags of assorted new bolts and nuts that came with the project car i bought. 2016 should give me enough time i am sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Wilson Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Well I think I'm about sorted for the 2016 event 😎 Anti dive kit to fit, silicone hoses to fit and change the oil and filter. This is of course the TR7 not the Moss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Quoted from Sheepy Choose which car next! Quoted from ferny Get that spitfire sorted! Yep, that's pretty much my plan Toby has been hoping to get a chance at RBR every run since 2002 (the GT6's second). Last year was the first time it looked like there was any hope (but turned out to be the GT6's third). Next year it's got to be Toby's turn.

Eagerbeaver Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm thinking of selling my TR6 so to enter RBRR 2016 I would need to get my GT6 up an running. What is the date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi all, just to let anyone interested to know that the 2016 RBRR, the 50th Anniversary event will be held over the weekend of 7th to 9th October.Eagerbeaver,Why sell the TR6, the RBRR is not a mega costly event to undertake. £200ish to enter, £400 in fuel, £100 on odds and sods. Look forward to seeing you on the RBRR in either the GT6 or the TR6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
