Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! As some of you know I lost the majority of my 2 TR4as in a garage/shop fire along with a ton of restored MGB and Bugeye parts. I've got to get the ball rolling on another TR4a and I would prefer a 67, solid axle or IRS so please keep your eyes open. I'm up in the air about a resto project or a really good solid car since I don't know if I have another complete restoration in me, but I definately need your help. The cars that I had in the shop were being restored to a frame off high level restoration and I've been at it for 2+ years, 8 hours a day when I'm home. I'll consider just about anything, but my preference would be a stalled project that's been de-rusted and repaired...something I can afford.
Thanks all, Rut

Thanks, every trip is an adventure! That one requires more work than my $400 parts car, but I'll keep it in mind...hopefully that extra 0 was a typo.

Tom Chimenti of Fairfield, CT a member of this forum, is restoring a TR4. He's very skilled. You should see his TR6.Send him a PM or email if you're interested. I'll pass along the word.

Rut,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I had a good friend in Huntsville lose his detached garage in a Lithium battery fire. It contained a highly modified Honda S2000 slalom car and $20,000 + in tools, almost got to his house. That would be painful to any of us.
Check the Montgomery British Car Club website for a 1965 TR4A IRS - https://www.montgomerybrits.org/for-sale/
Good luck!

Jim,
Thanks for the kind words and the lead on the 66 TR4a IRS...my old 67 was black with red interior and a solid axle.
