[TR] Interesting TR4 / TR4A on BAT

[bill beecher]

Going to a rental agency, maybe they had it built without the 4A trim?  Odd too is that the BMIHT Cert is unsigned.
Just sayin,
Bill

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.
