Up for your consideration is nice driver 1965
Tr4A. Originally optioned with red exterior, black interior, white top, wire
wheels, solid rear axle, and standard 4 speed transmission.
This is a great opportunity to own a British
sports car. Tr4A was brought out of long term dry storage purchased from
an estates sell a few years ago. Tr4A belonged to a retired British car
mechanic and enthusiast who had passed away. This is one of three British cars
I purchased from his family.
Tr4A is in overall very good dependable
condition. Non-overdrive four speed gearbox with chrome wire wheels. Tr4A retains
its original drive train that came with car. Engine, transmission, and brakes work
good with no issues. It's always been red / black combo with one stripped down repaint.
Paint looks good but does have some blemishes; a few paint chips and scratches.
Tr4A has been maintained through the years
utilizing a lot of original parts. It's an older paint job with a few flaws, but a solid car with no rot. I have lots of documentation through the years
including pictures of stripped down body on the frame paint job (the body has
never been removed). Original floor pans. Minor corrosion on drivers side, sealed and fixed. All body work and paint was performed years ago; never a
rusted out car and rebuilt. Rocker panels were replaced. So much work and maintenance
have been done over the years can’t list it all here.
Tr4A remains in dry garage today and driven
occasionally. Restoration is older and presents well. I believe I'm the third
owner. Not perfect but a good daily driver. I have many pictures, receipts, folders, and etc; good history.
Starts, runs, drives, and brakes. Car is driven a few times a month; never a
problem. No electrical issues, no fuel problems, no braking problems, no issues
that I have noticed. Engine does leak oil like most. Not perfect but a good
daily driver. Many thumbs up
Check out the pictures.

No rust. Clear coat application. Hood was wet sanded and buffed; rich deep
