[TR] It's not goodbye, just farewell...

[LBC.Resto]

I always planned on keeping the TR4 unless I could get hold of a TR5 again
(used to have one in the UK) - highly unlikely given the scarcity and cost
of them over in Europe. 

 

Another car I always wanted, but didn't think I would ever have a chance of
affording as a hobby was a convertible Jag E-type Series 1 or 2. Well one
came along at a price I couldn't refuse, so I snapped it up.  It's a 1970
model that needed new floors and sills; the repairs are coming on nicely AND
under budget so far - yeah.   

 

While we are excited to have it, we are both sad that the TR4 is going to
have to go due to garage limitations. I will be putting it up for sale in
the New Year in time for driving season. Before I do, I wanted to advise
(and thank) those who have helped me in so many ways to get this car back on
the road.

 

I never quite got around to doing the overdrive conversion as the original
box was fine and "if it ain't broke don't fix it"; the freshly rebuilt TR6
OD box is in the garage waiting to be installed.

 

So I am swapping one model that is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2011
for another - ironic.

 

Merry Christmas to all.

 

Thanks

Ian
