Dear Brethren, 
One explanation that holds for at least myself and Irv, is that we are in
the midst of restoration projects that are keeping the TR4A's in the
garages. This is possibly due the the later vintage of the 4 family which
are just hitting their maturity at 30-35 years, hence all the fixed up 3's
precede and the yet to be fully restored 6's are still on the roads.
Anyway, I'm hoping to emerge from the garage for a shakedown sometime this
fall...  if I'm lucky.
