My great mate Charles Knill Jones and I found ourselves having the same thoughts about 8 years ago. We went halves on TR4... a better bet than an MGB we figured.
Brilliant fun. Finished 2 out of 3 Spa 6hr. Engine that came in the car went wrong a week before the first attempt. Justin Maeers lent us an engine he had built out of rubbish 15 years earlier that had sat on the shelf unused. The con rods were different lengths.... but we pounded round steadily and finished
Second attempt was less sucessful when the
oil pump drive packed up after 90 minutes.
Last time we had a steady run with an odd oil pressure problem. Started 95th. Finished 33rd.
We did two drivers with 3 stops so we each get two goes at the wheel.
Car now has a brand spankers TR Enterprise engine and is ready for another run as and when. I have recently bought my mate's half but am not sure what the plans are really
I can highly recommend going halves with someone. You are going to share the driving so why not share everything. We even set up a bank account to run all the costs through!!!
