Hi, I'm Rich. I owned a 63 TR4 for over 33 years. I bought it as a rusty POS from my twin brother who begged me to take it off his hands so it could "stay in the family". I bought it for $300 including the factory ring binder manual and a spare tranny. Boy did I need that manual! After a few years and more hours than I could count, working in an unheated garage in western NY, I turned that car into something people would sit up and take notice of. Working in a machine shop that also did a fair amount of automotive work certainly helped! Anyhoo, about 8 years ago I did something I thought I would never do, I sold it. Got bit by the track bug and sold it to build a track car. The car went to a friend of a friend of a friend who took it back to Virginia where it originally came from. I know it went to a good home.

So, while the car is long gone, I have hundreds of photos, many happy memories, and the knowledge that I helped keep an iconic British roadster around to represent a bygone age. I still love them, and can't drive past one without checking it out!

Now that I'm getting older, and my living situation unfortunately has to change, I find myself with a lot of spares that I need to get rid of. I have almost an entire spare engine and other misc bits that I will put up in the classifieds soon. Oh yeah, here's a little eye candy!
