Registration: 2063 WK

Previously owned by late music producer Alan Bates, 1 family owned from new. LHD, U. K registered vehicle from new.
Purchased new by Alan Bates, renowned jazz record producer and the man who launched the career of Jamie Cullum, this TR4 is finished in red with black trim and was first registered 14th June 1962. Mr Bates had worked previously with Jimmy Hendrix, Tina Turner and Otis Redding, while working for Polydoir records, but in the 60's we have been informed by his daughter that he took this left-hand drive example to Paris where he lived and worked for several years opposite the Moulin Rouge, running Riverside Records before returning with the car to southwest London where it remained. Sadly, after his passing in January 2023, the car was left to his wife hence the car having 2 registered keepers.
We purchased late 2023 and carried out a light recommission with the following work being carried out...

Running and driving as it should, this is an original unrestored example, never been welded. Please remember this is a 61 year old vehicle with various imperfections. Currently indicators not working and our mechanic is on holiday (price reflected to sell) believe it could be flasher relay but not been investigated
