I thought I'd attach a few pictures of my 1971 TR6 LBR (Little British Roadster). I've wanted one of these for almost 45 years, and I finally bought one several months ago. The old adage is to buy the nicest (collector) car you can afford, because it's far cheaper in the long run than restoring one. That's just what I did. I even have the original bill of sale. Options included wire wheels, and an AM/FM push button stereo radio. The color is Sienna brown, which was only offered from 1970-72. I like it. A very rich looking color. The car had everything I wanted - the wires, the luggage rack, the wooden dash. I couldn't resist. Steering wheel is an aftermarket Momo, but I do have the original steering wheel in case I ever decide to go totally stock. The portable wicker tea set on the back is a recent addition.
Some help is requested from my English friends regarding the tea set. It's a Sirram, with bone china cups/plates/saucers by H. Aynsley. I know from the hallmark on the back of the plates that it was produced between 1946 and 1950. It was quite a find for $40. My question is in regards to all the little cannisters. There are 3 that are @ 3 inches square and high, and 2 that are @ 3 X 1.5 X 3 inches high. What were they used for? I assume that tea or (shudder) coffee goes in the thermos bottles, and scones, cookies, biscuits in the "Provision boxes". Alternatively, maybe hot water goes in one thermos bottle, milk in the other, and loose teas in a couple of the square bottles, with maybe sugar in another. Would honey or jam maybe go in the small ones??? Any help would be appreciated. I have a car show coming up this weekend, and I hope to be able to address any questions that might come up regarding the car, including the tea set.
