That’s too nice a car for me - I’d ruin it with roll bars etc

 

and it’s a lot of money. 
 

And when I did my suspension I fitted the top ball joint bolts opposite to each other which I think is correct. 
 

but thanks for thinking of me

my next tr 4pot will have 180bhp+

It wasn't about the car, it was about the location of the seller (as well as the price).....

Location location location

i see this place too and from work. They sometimes have interesting classics. 
 

the main ford dealer in Congleton has a smart tr2 in stock.

Nice car but poor attention to detail in a lot of areas that crabs the high price.

Yes, why could not the wheels be balanced with weights out of sight inside (pisc 71-74)? My man always manages to do this with my wires. Fuse box lid missing (pic56); wipers still set up for LHD; upper instrument panel screw heads appear rusty and there is damage to the panel around the upper right hand screw, ash tray faded; no passenger side grab handle (pic 80). In pic 25 is that an untidy weld on the chassis where a repair section has been let in? 

For 50 grand one is entitled to expect better. Panel gaps do look good though!

Actually they are 72 spoke as for TR6 but far preferable to the  48 spoke TR4 type for stiffness/strength. I would not criticise the car for that although the ad does misrepresent it in that respect; they do not claim the restoration to have been to 'original' standard, in any case it has been converted from the original LHD.
