The two options on the TR4 & 4A that everyone seems to be looking for are
the overdrive transmission and the surrey top. I have a few pieces of
original factory literature and none even mention the availability of the
hard / surrey tops. When I ordered my first TR4A from the dealer in
Indianapolis, I remember asking about overdrive and the option was poo-pooed
as problematic and totally unnecessary. Was that opinion of the
distributors or was that from a factory directive to keep hold the cost
down? Knowing what I know now (isn't that always the case), I surely would
have ordered both options.
Wonder if Mike Cook (Triumph's PR director at that time) would have an
answer.
