In the TR4 arena, it doesn't get much better than this superlative TR4A IRS, which is largely original and preserved. It was employed by its original owner, Dr. W. S. Cole of Nova Scotia, for just two years before it was stored in 1969, with only 12,000 miles on the odometer. In 2016, Dr. Cole's daughter Lesley sent the car to Jetstream Automotive and Custom in British Columbia for a preservation restoration. Out of respect for the originality of the car, it was decided that the paint, brightwork and interior should be carefully preserved, while the original engine, which was seized, along with other mechanical components, would be refurbished to TR4A specification.
The body was removed, but not disassembled, the chrome cleaned and reinstalled. The engine bay polished, while the fasteners were removed and cad plated. The undercarriage was cleaned and painted black. The car received a new soft top on the original refinished frame. After $30,000 worth of work, this TR4A IRS in its red paint with black interior, has less than 13,000 miles on the odometer. It is remarkable for its originality, low-mileage and single-family ownership. The preservation/restoration work has been undertaken with utmost reverence for a very significant example of the classic British sports car and will grace any collection with gravitas - as well as being a really fun drive.
