Skip -
   Understood - my point being that even if you found a
reasonable TR4 and set about restoring it, purchase price
plus restoration costs would run you every bit of $26,400
to make it as nice as this one (especially if you had to
find a surrey top).
   Unless you're into S & M (or happen to own a shop that restores LBCs),
when it comes to buying a Triumph (or any "collectible" car), the old adage
still rings true - "Buy the nicest car you can afford".

Especially considering this one hasn't been restored. ;-)
