My car is a 1967 TR4A originally delivered to Cardiff, it’s been in my ownership since 1989 and has been thru 10+ years of everyday use and 80,000+ miles. It’s condition today is a little sad, but it’s only a matter of time before it resumes it’s daily driver function.
Recently i purchased another 4A as a parts car to help rebuild KKG404E, as it needs a cylinder head, gearbox casing, chassis, etc etc
In the mid 90’s i lived on the south coast of the UK and later moved to Switzerland, it was a great experience to drive such a car regularly thru french and swiss mountian roads, and even though the car had a number of minor faults, very few have ever left the car immobile… crank failure and diff failure are among the very few… For a while i took part in some car show events, partly as a way to get in for free, but to be honest these events soon get boring…
Today the TR is in a chicken shed in the UK, I am in Malaysia and the “spare parts car” is in California, USA. This looks like bad planning and it is. However I am still hopefull that i may be bale to get me & the cars in the same place at some point this decade in order to make an new sportscar from the rust and worn components..
