Description:

Up for your consideration is nice driver 1965 Tr4A. Originally optioned with red exterior, black interior, white top, wire wheels, leaf spring 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 has been maintained through the years utilizing a lot of original parts. Tr4A is in overall very good dependable condition. Non-overdrive four speed gearbox with chrome wire wheels. Tr4A retains its original driveline that came with car. Engine, transmission, and brakes work good with no issues. 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.
Restoration is older and presents well. 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). It's always been red / black combo with one stripped down repaint. It's an older paint job with a few flaws, blemishes, some paint chips and scratches; but a solid car with no rot. Original floor pans. Minor corrosion on driver’s side, but has been 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. I believe I'm the third owner. Not perfect but a good daily driver. I have many pictures, receipts, folders, and etc; good history.
Check out the pictures.

Exterior
Paint looks good overall but does have some blemishes. Car looks great standing back. No rust. Clear coat application. Hood was wet sanded and buffed; rich deep color. The bad – car does have paint blemishes as said; nicks, etc due to storage. The lower left fender next to rocker appears to have been reworked during paint. I’m not impressed with final product, again no rust even after all this time as past. Paint shop can touched up to match or leave it as it is as a driver. I’m not a body or paint guy, so I never finished.
Top is new; heavy duty and premium quality. Requires final installation to be finish. (Also, I still have the original worn top that came with the car)
Top frame was restored and painted.
Nice original boot cover and nice tonnue cover.
Lots of re-chrome, new side marker and tail lights (have originals). Remaining original chrome is above average.
