Retard it slightly until the pinking disappears

David has given you your answer I would just like to say what a superb car you must have .I had a 1952 TR2 but was unable to afford to store it at the time .I once saw the car used in the Bergerac series it was a rust bucket I do not know what happenedto it maybe it was restored .Those loveley two big dials and that wonderful steering wheel ,I am green with envy I hope you have many happy years of pleasure with this wonderful car.And not forgetting the dicky seats
