I have never restored a TR6 but there is one for sale locally.  Apparently
it comes "with the rare factory overdrive option".

 

It is a 1970 car, vin CC 55,000 (ish)

 

Is this likely to be an A-type or a J-type?  I know the difference to look
at the respective overdrives, but the car is lying in a yard, I probably
can't get under it, and the transmission tunnel looks from the photos to be
intact.

 

I'd like to know before making an offer for the car.  Any suggestions?

Andrew Uprichard
