Nice enough car, to be sure, but the price is nuts.
Did anyone else notice that this TR4 has a mixed bag of features? The
SU carbs are on what looks like a TR4A manifold, complete with PCV
valve and filters. I question whether any TR4s of this vintage came
with fabric covered wiring. Finally, the seat backs look just as
lumpy as the ones I reupholstered myself. I'd love to know something
about the guy who won this bid.
