Right, Chris. It was the Zest of 1959. That car, though, used the
narrower-track TR3A chassis and what appears to be a much taller windshield
glass/frame. It's difficult to tell from the one photo in the
Langworth/Robson history if that glass is Herald glass or not. But were a
Herald Coupé roof to be adapted to a TR4, I'm sure it would at least have to
be "chopped" (in the best American hot rod tradition) and the doorglass of
the TR4 reshaped at the top and rear edges. I've not measured to see how
widths compare between the Coupé roof header and the header of a TR4
windshield frame.
