Hi, I'm looking for the aforementioned - my Dad is looking to start model making again and the TR4a is the one car he really regrets selling. It would be quite appropriate that I give this kit to him as he actually sold the car when I was born!

All I've found via google is the Airfix kit, along with some terrible reviews of it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If it's plastic then Airfix is the only option. There used to be a 1/43 white metal kit, but that wasn't great either, IMO. Corgi did I nice one, not sure if it's still available. I have one knocking around MiB if you're interested.

The airfix kit is Only skill level 1 so it's not going to be the best most detailed model, However it comes complete with glue and paints.

Corgi also do a couple tr4s.

Looks like it can be built more or less OOB into a nice enough model:
