Ralph Whitaker Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 WOW, what a beautiful car. Full marks to North Devon Metalcraft. Not one for any of us that don`t even like to polish our stone guards though. Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesA Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Love that. My one regret of exchanging my 3A for the 6 cylinders and wind up windows of the 6 was the loss of style of the body and interior of the side screen. Even considered a big Healey as a compromise but they drove like lorries! Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Super looking car, with no expense spared, but I wouldn't be happy to run it with the 2 spotlamps blocking the air intake - they need to be further apart. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DesNoble Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Beautiful. Interesting to see what it goes for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Cornish In the photos there are a lot of fettling issues. I can only hope they were photos of when it was first done not as it is now. Certainly nice looking though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Wigglesworth Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 As Pete Cox found out on his Ali race car, as soon as you drive your aluminium car the stones throw up from the Road and pepper the underside and raise pop marks on the finished surface. And so this looks like a museum exhibit rather than a driveable car unless great care is taken in the wheel arch areas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Correct, Keith. Before Neil Revington produced his underarm protection, 4VC received a few minor dings in its rear alloy wings. Fortunately, the alloy used on the Works' TR4s is fairly thick (thicker than in Pete Cox's lightweight racer) and Revington's paintwork, applied in 1992, has been little affected, and the paint has remained in place.
