My wife is a fan of the "Inspector Morse" series on PBS, and she has taken a liking to the Mark II sedan that the title character drives. As a result, I've been looking through Hemmings to see what p

The major question is rust, as others have pointed out. You need to get the car up off the ground and check out the frame carefully. Also check body panels, rockers, and inside the spare tire well. W

Yet another strange tale from the Tiggermobile files. I finally solved my starting problems by installing a new starter and positive lead from the battery. The engine now makes a rumm- rumm- rumm sou

If you're lucky, there won't be a bolt on the pulley. The PO of the Tiggermobile apparently drove without one for years. The horror, the horror...

We've just started up a car club here in Delaware, and I volunteered to edit the newsletter. I've done a lot of work with desktop publishing, but this is the first local car club I've been involved w

I pulled only the engine on my 72 Midget years ago, and after an afternoon of frustration trying to put it back in I vowed that in the future I would only pull the engine and trans as a unit. That li

I looked in the most recent copy of the Vintage Triumph register and your dad's number was not there. The correct number is probably CTC 71364 L, though if the car has a rigid rear axle it might be C

Well, I couldn't figure out why I was having so much problem setting my timing on the Tiggermobile (1963 TR-4). Turns out the PO took the crankshaft pulley apart and put it back together with the tim

As a TR-4 owner, I must protest the suggestion that this car is suitable for a family. While the trunk is truely cavernous (try getting 3 cases of longnecks in a M**ta!), the back seat is too small f

Well, I may be male and somewhat macho (at least my wife complains that I am), but I'm certainly not middle-aged, and I am definitly _not_ an anglophile! Leaving aside the horrors of British cooking

Talked with my local LBC parts dealer the other day, and he says the vast majority (like 90%) of his customers are old guys who wanted one of these cars in high school but couldn't have one. They now

The Roadster Factory lists an OEM style luggage rack for TR-4/4A that does not require drilling of new holes, so I assume it mounts with the trunk hinge and license plate bolts. Stock number GLR45, p
