what are you looking for one that is ready to drive or a very good restoration project? Although you will still be looking at £20K ish I rather think that I should like to be a saddle on a bike. |

Why why why do people want TR5's. Overpriced concoction or rust and leaking fuel. TR4 1962 having surgery at present |

It's the combination of the styling of the 4/4a and that Glorious 6 Cylinder Engine? (Former Vitesse owner speaking) |

I can see Roger's argument. Club Triumph Round Britain Reliability Run: Part of the organising team, and honoured to be associated 1970 TR6 Maroon. Bought May 2018. Since pruchase: Full suspension re-build, new clutch and propshaft plus re-built driveshafts. Goes well. Blimey, lots more done now, gearbox replaced (Canley Classics unit), 7J black minilites c/w Uniroyal tyres (Crikey, un-stickable), Revington's Targa springs. Now needs some engine work and some brakes. Otherwise, well on its way to becoming a Club Triumph type car, i.e. one that is actually used! Previously owned: Triumph Dolomite Sprint (Now owned by Paul Hughes) Herald 1200 Coupe on mk2 chassis (Now owned by Jess Cook and being properly used) Vitesse mk2 Conv: Sold in 1983, still on the road! Various Citroens and Pugs DD: Focus ST Diesel...torquey! |

Quoted from timbancroft61 Tim I know of at least two TR4's with 6 cylinder engines fitted, in fact we had one on our recent Car Run up in the Peak district and he won a prize (Photo Attached) I can't remeber the Guy's name, it was fitted with triple Carbs and a performance Exhaust/Camshaft, 170 BHP Apparently? Maybe this is another option? (I'm not a big fan of the styling of the earlier TR's) ![]() |

Quoted from timbancroft61 I do know of a TR3 chassis that has been altered to take a TR6 engine and someone else who has an altered TR3 body to fit on that very chassis. The strange things that happen when projects are started as a co-operative and they fall out ![]() I rather think that I should like to be a saddle on a bike. |

For me the details do a lot for a car. I have driven a couple of TR6s. The engine is great but I cannot live with the rest of the car. Too modern.... too cheap. Even the TR4a is already in the wrong direction. 63 - TR4, 66 - 2000 od LPG, 73 - Stag previous owner of: 69 - Herald 1200 Sal, 71 - 2000 od LPG, 75 - 2500 aut LPG inj plus a couple of other classics A car stops being fun when it becomes an investment |

Couldn't agree more - have owned mine for 52 years and drive it as much as possible with that roomy interior (I'm over 6ft), reasonable fuel consumption, just about enough performance and great looks (thanks Michelotti). I have owned many many Triumphs - TR2, TR3A, TR8, Spitfire, Heralds (4), Stag, 2000 Mk.I & II, 2500S (lovely car) - they have all gone but the TR4 remains and will remain as long as I can drive! |
