TR4 Purchase

[flatsix3.6]

Considering buying a TR4 and would like to know what upgrades would be good to look for or to do for motoring in these days, such as brakes, carbs,suspension, ignition and in paticular work on the engine to gain a few extra hp.

Looks smart without the bumpers.

I have no upgrades on my 1961 TR4, somebody had put a brake servo on which I have since removed as it made the pedal too hard. Also I removed the rocker oil feed as this was reducing the pressure available elsewhere. Someone in the past has added TR4a sidelights and grille but I have the parts ready to convert it back. Only mod I have done is to remove the bumpers which may not be to all tastes but easily reversible. Plenty of power as it is, 50 mph feels alot faster than it actually is when you are not cosseted by the surroundings of a modern car.
