Triumph TR4 for Historic Road Sports Preparation

This Triumph TR4 has been stored for many years and has frankly seen better days. It was raced some years ago and everything still works as it should. However, it is tired and needs some proper attention before hitting the circuit. The owners plan to compete in the HSCC’s Historic Road Sports Championship. The suspension and brakes are being stripped and rebuilt. The engine is largely ok although we are rebuilding the cylinder head with new valve springs and fitting a new head gasket and water pump. Among many other small tasks we will be fitting a full height windscreen, making a rollcage and fitting a hard top.

TR4 readied for HSCC Thruxton

Griffith’s TR4 was back on the lift this week in preparation for the HSCC season opener at Thruxton. The car performed admirably at last months 73rd Members Meeting at Goodwood and only required a basic preparation for the upcoming HSCC opener. The whole car has been spanner checked and the brakes have been stripped, cleaned and rebuilt. We have added an additional silencer as it was peaking at just over the 105db limit and the race numbers have been changed to 44 for the coming season. Lewis Hamilton has been getting on well with the number 44 so perhaps some of that success will be shared with the TR.

GRRC 73rd Members’ Meeting

Once again Lord March has hosted one spectacular event. Quickly becoming our favourite of the Goodwood events due to smaller crowds and a stronger emphasis on the racing. All of our drivers and our cars performed admirably. Dave Griffiths charged forward in the TR4 to make up 6 places in the Les Leston Cup. Ian Burford and Mike Haigh both drove with gusto and Shaun Rainford amazed everyone by hanging on to the leading pack in our Nash Metropolitan. Well done Goodwood, we cannot wait till next year.
