As my engine has covered just over 300 miles since a full rebuild it has
been nowhere near its redline. Maybe one day... ;-)
Having said that, when I first started getting interested in TR4s I noticed
in most of the current articles about them comments that they will have been
driven hard and that the engine gives its best when driven hard.
Some articles suggested that it is due to the type of driver and the
positioning of the cars: faster than an MGB so likely to be driven by more
enthusiastic drivers, but less expensive (and more 'rugged') than Austin
Healeys or Jaguars so they don't need to be kept in cotton wool to the same
extent. I'm not sure about that theory but I'd be interested to hear what
the other listers think.
Cheers,
Michael
63' TR4
