[TR] Interesting TR4 / TR4A on BAT

[dave]

The ad states this was originally titled as a 65 model, but it was correctly reclassified as a 67.  Maybe I’m just naturally suspicious, but after taking a close look at this car I am very suspicious.  Maybe a tr4 put on a 4a chassis with irs?  I don’t trust this.

That is interesting, doesn't look like it was a case "there happened to be a TR4A and a TR4 sitting around, so we used the best of both to make a new good car".  Looks like somebody had a 4A, but preferred the cosmetics of the 4 (dash, grill, no sidelights) or maybe their idea of the ultimate 4 cylinder TR was an IRS 4 chassis with TR4 cosmetics.   

 

Some prefer the clean look of the 4, I have to say it looks good in white.  But for looks (in my opinion) it doesn't beat a Royal Blue or Triumph Racing green 4A.

Greg,

I did my 63 4 in Spa white. Looks great with the metal dash. For blue, I did my 72 6 in French Blue. I get a ton of complements. To each his own!

I just came across this TR4 on Bring a Trailer.  It is a 4A, but has many features of the 4 – interesting that someone would do that.
