Well, I'd rather not turn the Spridgets list into a discussion of Triumphs,
but you are correct. The live axle TR4 was better. BUT, the TR4A IRS had
more chrome letters on the back, so in my youth, I figured it was better.
(It was a whole lot faster than the '63 Sunbeam Alpine Ser. III that I traded
in for it.)
OK, time to reminisce (read...Regret!) I bought the Alpine for $895.00 in
1967. The same model goes for $10,000 or better today. I paid $1,900.00 (I
think) for the '67 TR4A in 1969, and got $1,200.00 for it when I traded it
for (are you ready?) a '64 VW Beetle!! I'm glad I'm older now.
