Looking to buy a surry top / Backlight for my TR4

I'm not picky if it is metal or Fiberglass.

Thanks,

Ted

I wish, didn't even see it before it was gone, I'm only 7 miles from there. ****!

That happened to me with a TR250 several years back.

And MARV got it!!

Looking at it tomorrow,

Mickey,
I remember that 250 it was a good car. I tried to contact guy with TR4 and surrey top, never got a return contact. Figured it sold. Hope Ted gets it. Don't need any more TR4s right now but would have bought it just for the surrey top.

He's asking $5k for it Don't think it's worth that even for the Surrey.

Ted,
Did you get it?

I made him an offer, (as we discussed) but he said he'll let me know. I guess it was not enough.

He said he's waiting for the highest offer he can get.

What can you do.

The car is very rough, every panel has rust through,

Bumpers are dented, hood is dented with the driver fenders.

Rockers and floors are gone rusted through

Pillars are rusted away,

seats are rusty.

Trunk maybe OK but some damage from rack.

NonOD Trans,

Engine has not been run in over 17 years, has oil but no coolant I could see.

Missing air filters, carbs stuck

Front brakes are frozen does not roll.

Frame maybe usable but I see a little damage near the rear axle of rust through.

somebody bought it and took the top... parts left
