Considering how jumpy that 3 litre sounds I'm not sure there's any means of adding MPG, save for running lean. My 2nd best bet would be an aftermarket O/D.

I'm a TR6 fan myself but you've got a beautiful roadster my friend.


Only the picture I posted is mine, the videos are somebody elses, but thanks.
I too would prefer a TR6, or even better a TR5 or TR250, but they are a lot of money.

did they have tr7s on your side of the pond?


Yes, but they were not very well regarded, we even had a few TR8's

I don't know if they ever imported any tr8s this side of the pond.

They were made for the American market, most went to your side of the pond.

must be they went to the larger population centers, I haven't run into a single one. last time I saw any kind of triumph was back in the 80s, when I was living in a major population center [Tacoma].
