Jean,
A couple of our club members have had the same problem with their TR6s. When
you shut the engine off, the starter "heat-soaks". From what we could tell,
this extra heat causes the starter to build high internal electrical
resistance that even a new battery can't overcome. You may want to replace
the starter. Sorry.
