Hi Jack,

It was called a Surrey Top.=20

The rear screen stayed on the vehicle as it was a retrofit and removal =
of some parts that made up the =E2=80=98soft top=E2=80=99 parts was =
required. You had the best of both worlds then. Fitting the =
=E2=80=98roof=E2=80=99 or the canvas surrey centre section. I have a =
genuine Steel Roof, Aluminium Roof and =E2=80=98still in the triumph =
box=E2=80=99 canvas surrey centre section.

=20

"You can Make a Small Fortune From Motor Racing. As long as You Started =
With A Lage Fortune!"

Kind Regards

This car appears to be a Targa Top car.  I had never noticed it before, =
but this makes sense for racing.  I don't know if they ever made a true =
"hardtop" for the TR-4, like the Steel TR-3 hardtop.  I've never seen =
one.  If not, then the Targa Top would be a good alternative to improve =
aerodynamics (Verses the open car), assuming you kept the solid roof =
panel in place.  I have seen a few aftermarket plastic hardtops, in fact =
my race car came with one, but never a true hardtop from the factory.  =
Just an observation.  Any comments?
