Or, were the
gaps on these cars not great when the cars were new?
Thanks!
Don,
I am going to say that Triumph's in general were inexpensive sport cars.
Therefore one could not expect perfect fitment of body panels. TR4's were
supposedly notorious for bad panel fitment. My restored 62 Concours quality
TR4
has horrible gaps, no doubt the result of a bad restoration. Way too bad for
me for the car is otherwise near perfect in every way. I have an original 63
TR4 that has pretty decent gaps but no where near perfect. My original TR6
has doors that stick out at the bottom. This is a characteristic of Spitfires
too. I have three Wedges that have various gaps and doors that really don't
fit that well. Should I even mention the TR3B that after restoration takes a
guerilla to open the doors?
Cheers,
Darrell
