I would appreciate advice from anyone who has used the heritage TR6 
bodyshells & remanufactured chassis....

Last week, returning from France I suffered a burst tyre on an 
autoroute, to cut it short we hit a concrete central reservation 
(yes, concrete!), head on, span & clipped the tail before I could get 
control again. From the roadside I figured my 6 was dead. However, 
lying on a stretcher waiting for a doctor I began to wonder...I 
reckon the cost of a bodyshell, chassis & labour will still be less 
than the value of the rebuilt car, & anyway I don't want my 6 to die! 
(I bought her in '83 & did a 'minor' body rebuild when I had a 
driveway to work on, now I can't do much of the work myself: I'm in 
London, 25 mins walk from the garage I rent which has no power, 
water, etc.).

Anyway, I heard mixed reports about these bodyshells some years ago, 
so I just wondered if anyone out there could offer any useful 
comments.

By the way, my girlfriend got out unharmed & I got away with a few 
stitches, lucky really as my head bent the steering wheel!

TIA.
