I'll offer some comments (if that is what you seek):
Seller says "*Since the entire car received a "complete" re-paint it does
not appear as if any partial painting has been done*" but the paint job is
not really complete, having omitted the engine bay and boot. This begs the
question, What was the original color of the car? At a minimum one would
want to see some photos of the car prior to the respray to assure oneself
that the car was as rust free as claimed.
Seller says "*Simply stated, the interior is in excellent original /
condition having received improvements and cosmetic attention as needed*"
but the interior is clearly not original nor as original. Perhaps those
are Triumph seats, but not TR4 seats. The original carpet would have been
grey. The rear upholstery is a replacement, possibly not correctly
attached or possibly missing some parts. I think these generally had white
piping on the black interior.
Statement that it is the "* - Original jack... - Original jack handle*"
is incorrect, this car would have had a screw jack that fits through the
hole in the floorboard (similar to a TR3). Also appears a plain sheet of
plywood has been substituted for the tire compartment lid.
Note that buyers outside of California get to pay a $195 processing fee.
None of this is to say this isn't a good car or worth something like the
asking price -- but one would want to look beyond the sellers claims and
judge the car for itself. At a minimum, deviations from what is claimed
can be bargaining items should the sale come to that.
Best of luck,
Geo
