Sorry, but I got a bit of a chuckle out of an eBay listing for a TR2. I quote: "Rare, Triumph TR2, Complete. Great car for restoration. Motor runs & has 24 lbs compression on cyl 1-2-4, cyl. 3 has 26lbs...." Hopefully, there's a "1" missing in front of each of those readings? Otherwise, I suspect even a Ferguson tractor would have better compression readings. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif

Anyway, here's the full listing. Looks like a rather decent car!
 
Wish I had the $, time and energy for this one. I might look for such a project after my daughter gets through school. Looks like it would be a real fun project if done right.
