> Well the time has come, Popâ??s has hung his helmet up as they say. Since
> our shop has 2 Triumph race cars, 3 restoration projects and the occasional
> visiting race car, it is beyond full, so the car will be sold. We talked
> about the car today and Pops wanted the FOT to have first right of refusal
> since this group has helped us so much over the years.
>
> So the partial details, full details upon request:
> 1963 TR4 - race car since the 90â??s
> Pops is the second owner since it has been a race car
> Purchased from California in 2009
> Fully ready to race. Last race weekend was Eagleâ??s Canyon in May where Dad
> took every lap of every race and drove it on the trailer.
> Engine - 89mm wiseco forged pistons, tapered pins, Eagle SIR rods with Chevy
> big ends and Clevite bearings. Custom Marine crank with 2 dummy mains and
> Chevy rod journals. Full race cam (I think this is an Erson, will check
> notes for cam and compression notes on this motor). Oil cooler, accusump,
> and aluminum radiator. Standard TR transmission and a soutwhick rear axle
> with a limited slip diff. Front hubs were also uprated to soutwhich aluminum
> hubs. Suspension is well sorted.
>
> Dad has always been a conservative driver and rarely took this motor past
> 5500 rpm. Iâ??ve driven a couple times and it makes good power. I believe
> we built this motor about 4 years ago and he did about 3 weekends a year.
>
> Yâ??all let me know if there is any interest in the car and Iâ??ll get you
> the â??bookâ?? and a bunch of photos.
>
> If there is no-one interested here, we will be reaching out to our local race
> club and then BAT.
>
> Thanks and wishing yâ??all a happy new year.
