That sounds very much like the effect of a loose connection at the back 
of the speedo.   See if you can get your hand in there and push the 
connector back.   This is a perennial problem with Spitfire speedos, and 
I see no reason why TR4s should be any different...

(Sits back and awaits a deluge of e-mails explaining why TR4 speedos and 
Spitfire speedos don't share the same problems <g>).
