Welcome,
First off, you came to the right place, these guys are great.
A Couple of comments
If you like the 4, Try the TR250. A TR4ish with straight 6 power.
I have a TR6 which also has the straight 6 engine.
Look for the overdrive in any car - you'll be glad afterwards or sad - like
me (non OD).
Watch for rust and other bits falling off.
Use a magnet for bondo
Get the parts magazines (Moss motoring, Victoria British, et al) and check
costs of components on the cars you are thinking about, as some stuff can
get pricey.
Save a refrigerator box for the garage floor, or carpet, as you will
probably be spending many enjoyable hours there....not to say that's bad,
but LBC's (little British cars) need luvin too.
Mine is the best car I own.. and drive least. I would recommend it as a
second vehicle to anyone.
Good luck
Ed

Hi,
Just joined the list and reading a few messages. I'm thinking about getting
a Triumph not sure which but do like the looks of the TR4 and 4A. Anyway,
I'm investigating things I may need to know prior to purchasing one of these
classics. As a result, I found this list and had hoped some owners would
have some input that may help. I was thinking that I could get a nice
drivable TR4 for 5 or 6 thousand but that might not be the case (work on it
as I go).
