JUST SOLD – THANK YOU
The TR4 became the successor to the TR3 in 1961. The car featured an all new body styling which was very well received as the TR4 became a very successful car for Triumph (40,253 cars produced 1961-1967). Many consider the TR4 to be the best looking of all Triumph sports cars combining the classic British sports car look and feel in a sleek body style. The Triumph Racing Green exterior combined with black top and interior, its wood dash and wire wheels make this particular TR4 especially attractive.
Styling by Giovanni Micholetti, Bellisimo!
TR4s also featured roll up windows as opposed to the removable side curtains used on the TR3s; these combined with the first ever through dash ventilation vents in a British sports car, greatly improved occupant comfort. Other improvements included a wider track front and rear, slightly larger engine displacement, full synchromesh all four forward gears and rack and pinon steering.
In 1965, the TR4A with a redesigned chassis and Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) superseded the TR4. Apart from the rear suspension, which used trailing arms, and a few small styling refinements. the two models appear virtually identical.
Both the top and tonneau cover for the car are in like new condition. The window, door and trunk seals are new.
The interior of this car is in very good condition throughout including the beautiful, classic wood dash, the dash pads, original steering wheel, seats trimmed with white piping, the door panels, rear bench and carpets.
