Hear, hear. There's 6 TR4/4As locally that I know of:
mine (mostly original, driven daily)
one club car (very nice restored, weekends only)
one mint car (garage queen and I lust)
one in pieces and parts (was a daily driver)
one very modified daily car
one that's being converted to a drag racer, complete with
20" wide back tires (don't ask.)
However, I see TR6s and Spitfires two or three times a week.
To quote a guy that pulled up next to me yesterday: "I've never seen
a TR4 before"
