    There is one brake reservoir not two. The other reservoir is for the clutch slave cylinder

      Bingo! There are aftermarket dual circuit brake master cylinders available, but that's not what is on this car.

    Looks more like an alpine green or forest green?

    Wrong gas filler cap , no trunk shelf !

      Actually it is the right filler cap... it's just installed incorrectly. It should have the hinge at the front and the latch at the rear, so the lid flips up onward the front of the car.
      Yes, the spare tire cover, which serves as a floor in the trunk, is missing.

    TR4’s are not worth more today than when they were new. They were roughly $2850 base price which is about $28K today with inflation factored in. A TR4 in good condition today is worth about $18,500. In really excellent condition, low 20’s. You get the odd “high flyer” price of course but these are realistic numbers. Meanwhile, would you buy a used car from this man? LOL

    its got the wrong grill

    • @alanm.4298
      @alanm.4298 Год назад

      Wrong for TR4, yes. It's a later TR4A grill
      The early grill was rather cheesy... anodized sheet metal pressing. The later grill is more substantial polished aluminum.
      With the wrong grill in this car, they also have the wrong front turn signals. TR4 had smaller diameter glass "beehive" lenses that snap into rubber mounting. Later TR4A use larger diameter plastic lenses held in place with screws. TR4 also had small "marker" lights in the upper corners of the grill
      TR4A moved those lights to mountings on the fenders, so there is no provision for the on the later grills.

    lol it's not a four seater convertible. It's got a back bench for groceries or something. Maybe small children if your safety standards are 0 or double amputee friends.

    That’s is not a back seat

      its not its a mess [ this car 64] most likely a tr4A the front is, neither is it BRG get yoyr facts in order

    • @RyanPatrickOHara

      @@chrissallmann5429 nah, it's probably a TR4. While the grille is TR4a style, the turn signals are not on the fender and the badge on the bonnet is the TR 'Book' and not the world. Basically everything he shows says TR4 with the exception of the grille style.

    • @alanm.4298

      Actually, it is a back seat. This was an option, although it really is just a base cushion (instead of carpet) and pretty laughable as a seat.
      Also, the driver's seat should not tilt for access to the rear seat. Only the passenger seat tilts (on early cars the base is fixed, the back tilts... on later cars the entire seat tilts like in this one.
      While the tan interior is really nice looking, that color was never available from the factory. Black, dark red and two shades of blue were the only choices. The carpet was a medium/dark gray regardless of the rest of the interior.
      While a wood dash was an available dealer-installed option, they were darker stained than this car's. (From factory all dashes were painted Spa White.)
      I am not sure from the video, but think the center dash support is missing from this car, too. That is normally where a radio would be fitted (not in the glove box). It also is where the heater controls normally mount.

    Learn about the car before you try and sell it. Nonsense.
