Are You Going To The Show?

Stoneleigh Park Sunday 3rd March 2013 Hall 4 Stand 563


I think we can say it will be cold but we will give you a warm welcome. This will be our first show of the year so we will be pleased to see you there. The usual culprits Alan and Dan will be there but we will also be joined by Rob this year.

We will not be taking a wide range of stock but we will have a few of our own special kits at discounted prices, especially for the show and only for attendees of the show. These are special prices for the parts we have with us on the day and are for one day only!

If you are going and would like to order something before hand for collection at the show please let us know and we can bring it with us.


Make sure you visit us on stand 563 in hall 4, the cold one, to take advantage of our special prices!! You will need to dress up warm but we will also try to give you a warm glow with our reduced prices.


We hope to see you Sunday 3rd March, Stoneleigh Park, Hall 4 stand 563. Look out for the Revington Blue flag and banner.

Triumph TR4-6VC - Photo's of the Works Rally Car

This Thoroughbred is Still Going Strong

This classic car has surely seen some exciting moments since it was first built. The photos below bring to life just a few of those exciting times. Graham Robson, who was the Triumph works motorsport department manager, will be attending our Open Day on Saturday 6th April 2013 and will be giving us more insight on  Triumph rallying history, including 6VC.
RevingtonTR can also help to ensure your car is a true competitor, in whatever class you are competing. Whether it's a TR2, TR3, TR4, TR5, TR250 or TR6 give us a call to see how we can help you. 


In the meantime here are a few photos to whet your appetite.

Is this the missing link?-Trailing Arm Brackets 141399, 141398, 155502

High Quality Trailing Arm Bracket TR4A-TR6

At RevingtonTR we are keen for TR owners to be aware what parts are available in the market place. When comparing parts prices, looking at the price alone is not a good comparison. Many parts have dual source supply and quality can be different. At RevingtonTR we always try to offer the best quality part at a cost effective price. Being independent we can offer what we consider to be the best in the market place. In this instance we are offering the trailing link bracket 141399, 141398 and 155502 trailing link brackets. We know our brackets are spot on for quality, fit and durability, which is similar to the original part. The detail of the part is as follows. There are 3 types of trailing arm brackets used on TR4A-IRS, 250, 5 and 6, they are identified with 1 notch, 2 notches and 3 notches.



Brackets in position. Shown on our coil over damper kit RTR3003SPK with Anti-Roll bar fitted
  The bracket arrangement was the same until part way through TR6 production when there was a rear coil spring change. The difference between the brackets is the relationship between the mounting holes to the chassis and the holes accommodating the trailing arm support bolt. These holes are displaced up and down differently on each bracket and in production provided the correct camber when fitted in the relationship shown below. When setting the rear suspension start with the correct parts for your car then measure the camber. Fast road cars are likely to be set at 1.25 to 1.5 degrees negative. To change the camber the brackets can be mixed and matched, even turned upside down to get the correct setting. Bear in mind that the chassis may have been repaired and the mounting holes may not be exactly in the correct position. Check what brackets are fitted and order extras of the ones you don't have so that you can test various combinations. We cannot comment here on what the outcome will be as the choice of brackets will depend on individual chassis and spring combinations that you have.

Whilst going through this exercise, the ride height from one side to the other will change. This can be corrected by using Superpro spring insulators SPF2327K or SPF2327-5K, which is a similar part but 5mm thicker.

Brackets available.

TR4A-TR6 Lower Fulcrum Bracket - RTR3287 (148691)

Also enables negative camber to be set!

This is a great little bracket that is similar to 148691 but allows changes to your suspension set up that cannot be achieved with the standard bracket.

The TR4A-6 Front suspension attachment Bracket RTR3287 is similar to the original part 148691 except that the attachment screws are longer.

When the front suspension has been strengthened or negative camber is desired, the studs on the standard bracket, 148691, will not be long enough. Use this special bracket, RTR3287 to cure the problem. When the suspension is apart it is good practice to strengthen the chassis brackets as these have a tendency to break away. Not a pleasant experience! Order strengthening kit RTR7017K. See below

We said we were going to make our open day a special day for TR enthusiasts. Well I think we have exceeded even our own expectations. GRAHAM ROBSON has agreed to join us on the day and hold a question and answer session on the Triumph works rally cars.





Graham Robson-Triumph Works Motorsport Expert
As well as being an accomplished engineer, rally driver, journalist and author, Graham has an in depth knowledge of the Triumph works motorsport department from 1962 to 1965 a period when he ran the re opened section at Fletchampsted, Coventry. This was the period of the Spitfire Le Mans cars, TR4, Vitesse, Spitfire and 2000 rally car developments. So if you want to meet the man who was personally involved and has an in depth knowledge of the Triumph racing era, who can answer most if not all of your questions, why not come along on the day and meet the man who knows it all. I know it will be an interesting session.

I hope you can make it.

Research and Development Leads To Customer Satisfaction


RevingtonTR Workshops-Knowledge and Passion

As long as there has been a RevingtonTR there has been a RevingtonTR workshop. The company was started by Neil Revington in the early 1980's and he was joined later by Carl Kiddell and latterly Dan Allen. These 3 people form the highly skilled and knowledgeable team that specialise in the Triumph “TR” range. Not wanting to diversify away from cars he knows in great depth, is a policy that has kept us at the top of our game for many years. From the very beginning Neil was designing and developing parts to improve and upgrade his own TR. These parts soon found their way into the market place and from then on there was no looking back. These days Neil continues to develop, upgrade and check existing parts for the best, most cost effective parts that we can supply. Nearly all of the parts we sell have at some stage been tested on our own cars, either during Neil’s road and race events or test fitted in our workshop. This has proved to be a great benefit to our business and you, our customers.



Natalie,  Neil  Sue, Marcus, Carl, Alan, Dan, Dave, Bill (Retired), Rob (just out of shot. Must get a new photo!)


With this experience behind us we believe we offer a great service at a cost effective price also providing continued customer support long after the car has left our workshops. That is just one reason why you should consider RevingtonTR for your service, refurbishment and upgrade work. With Neil backing up Carl and Dan together with our own parts department backing up the workshop we are able to offer a great all inclusive service.

Why not give us a call when you need professional workshop support that lasts long after your car has left the workshop. RevingtonTR, Renowned for their "Knowledge and Passion" for the TR Marque.
