No distractions 🤣🤣 still looking. Had found a LHD in UK that was really hitting the mark but then I found out due to all this Brexit malarky and with the UK no longer in the EU Spain now imposes import duties and have to pay vat on the purchase price which here is 21%.... all amounted to £4k!!!! My son had imported 3 cars from the UK before Brexit and only paid around £750 each so was budgeting for around that. Spanish registered LHD cars are like hens teeth... the ones out there are USA imports and not in that good a state and they want at least 10k euros over the top. There's a reasonable USA import out there but it's been painted silver 🤷🏻‍♂️ As it's a new paint job too, it's not very good and has a big run on the bonnet edge and there's already bubbling on the rear panel 🤦🏻‍♂️ Keep looking guys 🙏

Early retirement gave me the chance to settle in sunny Southern Spain just before the Brexit shenanigans made their mark and then covid hit 🤦🏻‍♂️ Always been a bit of a petrol head, XR2i for about 5 years and after that owned a 2001 Clio172 until we moved in 2018. That was a quick car especially as it was chipped. Wish I had kept in now as it was immaculate and only 36k on the clock. I've had the urge to get a TR6 since my first ride in one back in 1976... a chocolate brown one, not my favourite colour, but it managed to sow the seed. Now I'm in a position to be able to get one I'm on the look out for a really sorted one.... Body, Chassis and engine all restored but having no luck here in Spain. Have seen a couple on the TTSSC classifieds but no response sadly. Wish me luck in my quest and if anyone knows of a 'good' one PM me... LHD preferred but not essential for the right one.
