Associated TC3 and TC4

[WideOpen]

Can anyone tell me the years Associated made the TC3 and then the TC4 - did they overlap?

1999 for the tc3
2005 for the tc4

so, they just made them for one year each?

No. Those dates are when they got introduced.

good info - any idea about how long they ran in production?
I guess the other question then is - is there a telltale difference to know if what I have is a 3 or a 4?

I'm not sure how long they ran
It looks like the most obvious difference is the blue anodized parts.

After what you have said - the first thing I have found different is the steering rack. I will pay attention to other items and see what I find different.
