marko Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 This is one of my customers cars and cost a fortune to build....If you wanted to replicate this car with racetorations now, I doubt you'd get any change out of £50k Fully restored and rebuilt by Racetorations in the late 90's but still in excellent condition with lovely signal red paintwork and Minilite wheels. Ideal for fast road use, sprints, hillclimbs, road rallies or circuit racing. This is a very quick TR4A and professionally modified and tuned to produce around 185 bhp. This car was built in 1966 and has been kept in superb condition, it has been with its current owner since 1997 and was bought as an introduction to classic circuit racing. It has been enjoyed at "novice" track days, but has never actually competed. This car has been heavily modified by TR Specialist Racetorations whom completed a full body restoration in 1997 for the current owner and it has only covered 3,800 miles since. The main specification of the work completed by Racetorations included: Engine: Steel billet crank, Cosworth pistons, Roller rockers, High lift Camshaft, ARP Rods, Lightened flywheel, 45 DCOE Webers, Aluminium radiator, Oil cooler, Stainless steel performance exhaust & Manifold Transmission: Racing paddle clutch, Close ratio straight-cut gearbox with overdrive in 2nd, 3rd and 4th, Salisbury LSD with sprint ratios. Suspension/Brakes: Telescopic dampers with aluminium carriers, Cosworth independent drive shafts, Brake upgrade to Willwood 4-pot calipers on larger discs, Rear Alfin aluminium drums, Competition brake pads all-round, Lowered and stiffened suspension, Aluminium Minilite wheels, Interior: Full Roll cage with removable door bars, Ridgard Seats with TRS Multi-point racing harness & Internally mounted fire extinguisher. This is a serious car for the serious driver, not a trailer queen or concours contender but it goes rather nicely...extremely quick!! Offers around £29,000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marko Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks Mick...It's not mine but its Fuxxking quick.....I took it for a little run round the block and couldn't get the power down...(it was wet) Very impressed with the power output of the old 4 pot engine...... Probably to harsh for road use....I bet it would be a hoot on a track or hillclimbing.... Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
