Thanks to Pete from my local Thames Valley TR Register Club I've borrowed an engine hoist, drove over to Pete's before Christmas to pick it up and have a look at his TR6 project - looking very good!
Manage to fit the hoist in the back of my Honda estate by removing the legs kept in place by pins.
Reassemble and ready for the lift out, loosened off the engine mounts and placed the rope through the lifting eyes on the block.
Head height in my garage will be an issue also the soft ground outside - I think the best option will be to have the car half way out, lift the engine and roll the car back in then lower on to my trolley.

This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.
