On my '72 TR6 the guage always sits in the middle once up to temperature.
It has always done this since I got the car and I believe my entire
cooling system is working properly. I've never had problems with it.
Sometimes if I am doing like eighty for a while in top gear it might move
a little lower or start to rise in gridlocked traffic. I've only once had
it threaten to actually overheat in slow traffic and then I was low on
coolant and it dropped back to the mid-point once i was able to get the
car off the highway and moving once again.
