Now I got right (or better)
Here is a bigger picture of the TR4

 

[TR4]

Looks absolutely GREAT and is that RUN HARD evidence I see on the rocker?

SWEET !!

Owned and raced by John and Mac from CAPE COVENTRY RACING, Orange County Calif.
It is a 1963 Factory Sebring race car. (off which I purchased my American Racing Mag wheels).

John and Mac belong to our local TR club. And it it sometimes driven on the Street on one of our club rides on Saturday mornings after Cars and Coffee.

It is quite a thrill to drive next to it or just behind it when we do our canyon runs. It is full of the sights and SOUNDS of a race !!
Lots of Fun.

Very neat! I see Cliff's Mini behind it there, too.

I was wondering if anyone knows how many Sebring Cars were produced by the factory.In the mid seventies there was one of these cars in Groton Conn.owned by a sailor at the Navy Sub Base.I tried to buy it but he wouldnt part with it. Had lots of great racing stuff and I believe it had Aluminum body panels.There was a rumor he stuffed it into a tree one night on a binge.Rumor or truth??

Can't help you with the sailor story, but...

I'll have to check my Kastner books, but I thought all the Sebring TR4s were prepped by Kas, not the factory. One is now a vintage racer owned by a gent who lives in Great britain but stores the car in the U.S. so he has a car to race when he comes over on this side of The Big Pond.

Now if I could only remember his name...

I don't remember anything about aluminum panels either. I would think that the FIA wouldn't allow that.

No, I think they would frown on aluminum panels, but acid dipped bodys are harder to detect! Please don't lean on the car!! :laugh:

Perhaps someone was thinking about the factory TR4 rallye cars (best known as 3 VC, 4 VC, 5 VC and 6 VC)?
