I don't think that's age related. I've experienced that problem before
too - particularly on longish corners. It's due to fuel starvation since
the tank in my TR6 (at the very least) does not have a baffle, so in a
reasonable sized left hander the fuel all runs away from the outlet on
the bottom left of the tank. You can get around the problem by 1. Not
turning left; or 2. if you really must turn left, keep your tank
reasonably full; or 3. installing a baffle in the tank (one for the pros
I think) or a baffled tank; or 4. installing a swirl pot below the main
tank (~ 1 litre of fuel should see you through all but the longest left
handers ;-).
