I think you got TRA and VTR mixed up. First, because the VTR site
(http://www.vtr.org) isn't particularly lovely while the TRA site
(http://www.triumphregister.com/) is sweet. :-) Second, because the TRA site
says
"We believe in side-curtains. ...and cut-down doors. We believe that overheating
in traffic is ...unchangeable." They include TR4/4A's in the copy, but it
doesn't
sound like *my* car. OTOH, the homely VTR site proclaims that they "[support]
all
models of Triumphs."
No experience with TRA, but VTR seems to be a better fit for me (TR4-wise).
Also,
I don't mean to slight the achievements of VTR in re their web site, or the
individuals who have contributed to this great resource -- but the look-and-feel
is so-o-o '90s. ;-)
