The rigid axle TR4 with the super torquey 4 cyl engine is a
much more real "blood and guts" britsh sports car experience
than the TR6. The horsepower and torque rating of an
emmisions choked TR6 are only slight different than a TR4
and IMHO the TR4 delivers a more throaty LBC engine sound,
handing and total driving experience >>
Without exception, every single person I have ever known , who has owned
both a TR4 and a TR6, liked the 4 better - including one fellow I know who
traded in a TR4 for a TR6 back in the early 70s - when there were places
called
Triumph Dealers where you could do such things.
All of this makes me SO glad I've NEVER driven a TR4 - I lust after too many
other Triumphs and have too many projects already !
