A comprehensive trouble-shooter that no TR4/4A owner should be without. This handy book describes all the main components of these cars and details what can go wrong with each of them, how to fix common problems and even a number of improvements that can be made to the car.
The TR4 represented a new breed of British sports car. Its modern lines, and accessories such as wind-up windows and face-level ventilation, were a big departure from earlier TR3 models. While TR4 mechanical parts may not have been new, the introduction of IRS (independent rear suspension) on the TR4A set a new benchmark for sports cars of that era. Performance was solid, if not spectacular, with 109mph attainable in overdrive top, and these TRs found a ready market in all parts of the world. Now nearly 60 years old, the TR4 and TR4A still attract a huge following worldwide.

This book is designed to offer owners and potential owners of these cars insight to the common problems that can arise, and how to fix them; often making an improvement at the same time. Arranged into easy-to-follow sections – engine, driveline, suspension, etc – it's possible to see not only where the problems originate, but also how to resolve them.

Information is also provided on owners’ clubs and spares suppliers to help keep your car in good condition and on the road.

Paul Hogan has been an avid TR owner and enthusiast for over 40 years, buying his first TR, a TR5 in 1975. Since then he has owned virtually every example of the marque, the exceptions being the TR3 and the TR8. As a member and former Chairman of the TR Register, he has always sought to raise the profile of the TR series of sports cars through active participation in a variety of events, be it hillclimbs, touring or racing. He currently owns a special bodied TR4, a GTR4A Dove, and a TR3S which has competed with some success at Le Mans Legends and Classic Le Mans races.
