[TR] TR6 extended wheelbase

[dave northrup]

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.

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 “cut and shut” modifications I’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.
