Hamish Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 That’s too nice a car for me - I’d ruin it with roll bars etc and it’s a lot of money. And when I did my suspension I fitted the top ball joint bolts opposite to each other which I think is correct. but thanks for thinking of me my next tr 4pot will have 180bhp+ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Location location location i see this place too and from work. They sometimes have interesting classics. the main ford dealer in Congleton has a smart tr2 in stock.

tim hunt Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Yes, why could not the wheels be balanced with weights out of sight inside (pisc 71-74)? My man always manages to do this with my wires. Fuse box lid missing (pic56); wipers still set up for LHD; upper instrument panel screw heads appear rusty and there is damage to the panel around the upper right hand screw, ash tray faded; no passenger side grab handle (pic 80). In pic 25 is that an untidy weld on the chassis where a repair section has been let in? For 50 grand one is entitled to expect better. Panel gaps do look good though!

signalredshaker Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Does anyone else count 60 spokes on those wheels- not "complete with 48 spoke painted wire wheels which the vehicle is correctly riding on today."? Ooops. Very nice car though- wonder how it drives? James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tim hunt Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Actually they are 72 spoke as for TR6 but far preferable to the 48 spoke TR4 type for stiffness/strength. I would not criticise the car for that although the ad does misrepresent it in that respect; they do not claim the restoration to have been to 'original' standard, in any case it has been converted from the original LHD.

Let me explain... it’s the car that makes the difference... if you want to win. I agree that finishing mid field is more fun, ...and cheaper. Mick Richards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
