...and "hardtop" it is, despite the seller's careful but ill-informed explanation. The "surrey" top always referred ONLY to the vinyl top for emergency use (since the metal insert could not be carried elsewhere in the car). Also, I thought only the earliest of the hardtop cars had an aluminum top piece, with later ones in steel. I don't know the supposed changeover point, though.

All that said, it does seem to be a nice car. :smile:
 
Thanks, guys.

The TR4 Hard Top is mine- just doing a little spring garage sale. Andy is correct, it is a hard top, not a surrey top, but everybody calls it a surrey top, so I didn't want to get too technical on ebay.

Plenty of interest from Europe, guess the weak dollar is swinging the pendulum that way.

A friend sent me an article from March 3 edition of Autoweek; 63 Surrey sold at auction for $44,000. Guess I should at least repaint mine.
 
Yes, I had second thoughts, but also had a generous offer outside of ebay. So when the deposit was received I cancelled the bids and the ad. Don't beat me up too much- I did offer it at a lower price to someone on the Forum first.

From the great response I received from the ebay ad, it seems the TR market is gaining strength, particularly for very good cars, and where they buy with Euros.
