Hallo everyone! Quick history, used to own 2 TR2's in the late 60's (ist one cost £75, 2nd - £85), jump 50 years, miss TR's terribly but couldn't afford them now, buy Spitfire MkII and watch awful tin worm disintegrate it before my eyes. Then a man stops by and asks if I'd like a TR4A for £1500, 'do bears?' I reply. |

Wow - always wanted a TR4A or TR5. For £1500 I would have ripped his arm off, even a LHD model. I am not surprised that you went for it! :-)

You said scruffy - that doesn't look too bad at all (certainly for that price). A couple of rusty spots, but nothing to be ashamed of. The cat seems to approve of it too....maybe have it sit on the bonnet as an alternative to the "leaping cat" on Jaguars! Used to drive Spitfires as main transport, but have a eurobox for work these days. Don't believe in putting the roof up - a bit of snow never hurt anyone!
