Phil, just a note. You realize that only the early TR4's had the 48 spoke,
4" wire wheels (same as the TR3)? These wheels are not really adequate for
the increased weight of the TR4. Somtime in 1962 the 60 spoke, 4 1/2" wheels
became the standard option.
My references say to be careful with the 48 spoke wheels ("only for show or
gentle motoring"). If you ever get new ones, I'd recommend going wth the 60
spoke wheels.
