Started with a Bugeye Sprite, sold it, restored an MG TD, sold it, now just bought a TR4A to restore. The ad on Hemmings is still up, as of today, but will go down soon:
https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/triumph/tr4a/1871325.html
It has some obvious rust to deal with, but it is in running condition, has an overdrive transmission, and comes with a spare engine. There are a few bits missing, like the front bumper and all overriders, but it's still remarkably complete. I don't have it in my driveway yet; still arranging shipping.
My plan is to do a frame-off restoration with the goal of a mechanically solid, reliable (yeah, OK; I know it's an LBC), good-looking car, but not a show car. I'll use the existing engine for now, then eventually rebuild the spare, at my leisure, for added performance. I'd like it to be tractable for the street but to put out a few more HP. I'm totally unfamiliar with what's available for TRs these days, so I'd be interested in any suggestions about things to use. Nothing extreme; just the best improvement for the money.
As I've done with other cars, I'll create a web album of my progress. Not that I expect anyone will care, but it's for me as much as any other purpose.
