The Appeal
Raw, engaging and beautifully styled, the TR4A is a golden part of a very illustrious line; that beautifully simple, agile world of the Great British Sports Car. Always engaging, they've become increasingly popular among a whole new generation of enthusiasts - particularly if it's one of those with the redesigned Independent Rear Suspension.
This particular car is exactly that, registered in 1965 and residing in the UK, it's a fine, eminently drivable example that's been well cared for by its eight registered keepers. It's accompanied by that oh-so-desirable Surrey hard top and a fine cache of paperwork - a fine prospect for its lucky new owner.
