I would think all the extra weight would really slow it down. and the longer
wheelbase not exactly help it around corners. As a styling exercise I think
its kind of interesting. As a car I would actually want - NO WAY.

Subject: [TR] TR6 extended wheelbase
Back in 1970, we had a customer turn up at the London showroom with a TR5 that
had had the same treatment. The adaptation was done by one of the leading body
builders who built special coach work for Bentley and Rolls Royce and yes, it
was one of the better â??cut and shutâ?? modifications Iâ??ve seen over the
years. That said, it was an entirely dIfferent kettle of fish to drive. I
recall the scuttle shake was absolutely appalling. Not my cup of tea thank you
to drive or to look at.
