[TR] Triumph Continental Touring Kit - TR4/4A

Tue Jan 13 13:48:11 MST 2015

Brard -

There are some images on the web that may give you an idea -- do not know
if any of these are originals or if some or all are recreations.

Per a long-ago thread, the approximate size was 24" x 9" x 6".

I am unsure if the images will appear in the list version (they are
embedded, not attached), can only try & hope.
