[TR] bring trailer TR4A

[Greg Lemon]

I think abomination is a little strong.  It is all Triumph spec parts, not
a chain store steering wheel and seat covers. I think somebody had a vision
of what they wanted and carried it off pretty well.

Not my vision, and obviously not factory correct, but we'll executed.  The
IRS chassis is never going to feel like a TR4, but should be a very nice
ride.  I agree it shouldn't bring the money a factory correct car, but the
Michelloti TRs are finally getting the recognition they deserve, and Bring
a Trailer generally brings top dollar, well above Craigslist and local club
sales.
