1.  Was thinking of building up a Jag SS-100 replica...asked my british car 
mechanic guru for help.......after a bit....he said..........why don't you 
forget about a replica and just get a REAL sports car?.........his suggestion 
TR4A-IRS..........(course that was his favorite, since he had one!........he 
said, 
"dependable, easy to fix, parts available....go find one!!!)..........I 
did........and he helped me........and after many hours and hard work, and, of 
course, a bunch of dollars.........3rd place VTR National Convention, 
Concours........

2.  Almost more ugly than s...t.......but they grow on you, 
eh?........previous owner of a '57 MGA.........which was beautiful!!!!  
Hey!.......I gotta 
admit.........my TR has more GUTS!!!.......body parts don't fit too 
well.......bonnet vibrates at low RPM......(I  hope it will not come OFF and 
fall on the 
street, eh?)            Someone once said..........."An MGA is built like a 
sewing machine.......a TR4 like a tractor..........take your pick!"   And I 
think 
that says it!........you gotta a 'watch' here or a 'sundial'!.......which will 
stand up to the 'gaff' the best???

3.  Have everyone go to the VTR web site.........for buyer's 
information..........invaluable advice and information!!!    Learn enough about 
the car you 
are buying or have bought.........when I won 3rd Concours..........I had TR5 or 
250 seats in it............which were in the car when I bought 
it!!!!......they looked great.........but they were wrong!!!, and I didn't know 
that.............(cost me 1st or at least 2nd).......know your car as best you 
can before 
you buy it!!!    Yes!!!....Clubs, shows, etc....and, of course, buy the best 
restoration that you can afford!..........will save you many bucks in the long 
run!!!

Hope this helps a bit!

Cheers!
