About 12 years ago when I lived in Wisconsin, I read in the
paper that someone had some TR4 parts for sale. I left on a Sunday
afternoon telling my wife that I was going to look for the hood
emblem for my TR4A. The address turned out to be a farm house. The
guy that lived there was in his 70's and was getting out of the
sports car hobby. During the long Wisconsin winter he had totally
diassembled a TR4 in his barn. He discarded the rusty body and was
selling the entire boxed-up TR4 for $100.....the engine, transmission,
lights, instruments, glass, bumpers, hood, etc. He loaned me his trailor
to haul this home. My wife said, "I thought you were going for a hood
emblem ?!" There was no hood emblem included in what I bought.
You gotta have spares.....
