[Fot] Under Hood Vents

[Jack Wheeler]

 This car appears to be a Targa Top car.  I had never noticed it before, but this makes sense for racing.  I don't know if they ever made a true "hardtop" for the TR-4, like the Steel TR-3 hardtop.  I've never seen one.  If not, then the Targa Top would be a good alternative to improve aerodynamics (Verses the open car), assuming you kept the solid roof panel in place.  I have seen a few aftermarket plastic hardtops, in fact my race car came with one, but never a true hardtop from the factory.  Just an observation.  Any comments?

 I saw these for sale on craigslist just now and I thought to share them with the FOT.  It is my understanding the grills used on the 60’s Triumph Works TR4s’ engine bay vents were repurposed grills from the Triumph Herald.  

Here’s a pair for sale.  (Old TR4 pics from the web just for reference)

I have no connection with the seller.
