At Gaydon's Triumph day I met the owner of a 'TR4' that appeared to
have been rebuilt to a very high standard, however it had a small
brass badge saying 'TR4/6, denoting the TR6 engine under the bonnet.
He had paid 14,000 pounds for it, whilst it was a great looking car,
I couldn't help thinking that was TR5 money. (He did have the benefit
of knowing the person who rebuilt the car).

Perhaps its the lack of a grandmother that drives people to convert TR250s!
