Reinaldo Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hello, This is my first post in the forum. I just want to share the pictures of the restoration I am doing for the last 2 years in my 1966 TR4A. Check it out at: http://picasaweb.google.com.br/rmorilha/Re...aDoTriumphTR4A# The car is in Brazil (where I live) and was bought back in 1998. Former owner was a friend of mine that has the car since 1977. Hope this helps other owners. Please feel free to ask whatever might help you. Thanks, Reinaldo Morilha www.triumphcars.com.br Quote Link to post Share on other sites

D1070 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi Reinaldo, Having visited Brasil on a number of occasions last year i am intrigued to know how many other TRs are resident in your country, i spent most of my time in Goiania and never saw a Triumph ,let alone a TR !. Lovely job on your 4,- it must cause quite a bit of interest whenever you out and about, all the best, Laurence Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reinaldo Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello Laurence, Thank you for your answer. As you possibly expect is there quite a few Triumph cars in Brazil. We have the website www.triumphcars.com.br (unfortunately still in Portuguese language only) were one can get a feeling on what we have. Namely a batch of 12 TR4As (1966) and few tenths of Spitfires (majority are MK3). Very few Stags as well. In the next few years few cars has benn imported used from US (GT6, TR250, TR4A and TR6). I will send a small article regarding club activities in Brazil. My regards, Reinaldo Hi Reinaldo, Having visited Brasil on a number of occasions last year i am intrigued to know how many other TRs are resident in your country, i spent most of my time in Goiania and never saw a Triumph ,let alone a TR !.

Reinaldo Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello, This is just to thank Smokey, Laurence, Chris, Shezbo, Pfenlon and Mallfor for the posts received. Allways good to get nice words on what we truly love. I guess in Brazil manpower is still affordable and so most of the job was done by third parties. On the other hand it is not easy to find good people with the skills and truly interested in doing something diferent with good quality. But several workshops has been used and so during all stages of restorations I jumped in every detail and provide the proper information and parts required. Thanks again, Reinaldo ====================================================== Very nice!!Make sure you use it and enjoy it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
