In retrospect, my TR4-A was a total piece of crap:
Five keyed spots and only one (ignition) worked,
Horn that I only remember working once,
Windshield wiper blades that constantly caught and jammed on windshield window frame,
Heater/defroster that were so weak that only one produced heat at a time, and defrosted an area of the window about the size of a silver dollar,
Convertable top rear plastic window that was so hazed that I couldn't see through it,
No track for windows to roll up into, so in winter, when top shrunk from the cold, there was a space between window and top, and snow would fill the seats,
I got the car used when it was a few years old, and despite having body work and repainting done, it rusted seriously over the three years I drove it,
It was so light that there was never any traction when driven on snowy roads,
Replacement parts were very costly, and often difficult to source,
Plus a few more things that I've probably forgotten.
And yet I'd love to have that car back to drive today.
