If you have visited Moss Motor's home page at www.mossmotors.com, you
will find they have the TR6 catalog on-line,as well as some of the MG's.
Their is a source of images for the TR6, <italic>IF MOSS WOULD NOT MIND
AND PROPER THANKS TO THEM WAS INCLUDED</italic>. Its in Adobe format, but
the Adobe reader is free and they have a pointer to it also. I like
having these on-line. I printed a pages this weekend to "scribble" on.
Also, they have their price list on-line as well. I would like to see
them put the 2-4A on-line also.
