When you say top, do you mean the drop top or the bonnet (hood to Detroit's).
I'm not sure, but I believe the TR4 (not A) has a more rounded bonnet. TR4A's
also have a wider track and 60 spoke wheels instead of the 48 narrower wheels of
the TR4 (not A).
Of course you have to have a keen eye to detect these differences at 75 MPH.
The front fender is dead giveaway. If it does not have the lamps, it is a TR4.
If it has the lamps but not the TR250 stripe, it is a TR4A. Of course, many
TR250's have been repainted and do not have the stripe.
Anyway, the TR4's, TR4A's and TR250's fine are all fine examples of British
iron.
