[TR] TR4 questions

[William McLeod]

The surrey top, if factory (i.e. not fiberglass) and complete adds a  
minimum of $2k and probably more.  As far as the OD goes, be  
optimistic!  There are a whole list of minor glitches, ranging from a  
broken wire to a bad adjustment, which will cause an OD not to work.   
Tell the seller to lower the price $500 because on the non-op OD, and  
trust to good old british engineering to come out ahead!  Regards, Bill
