Vehicle Description
The Triumph TR4 represents the era of beautifully styled European
drop-top driving machines. They have plenty of sought-after value,
and so such a well-priced example like this has certainly caught
your eye. It means you have found the kind of classic that has all
the best fundamentals in place, and at the same time, it leaves
room in your budget to personalize this to your tastes.
The design comes from the master Giovanni Michelotti, and it's a
true European with graceful lines. The low-swept hood (bonnet) is
molded around the headlight for an instant sporty appeal. The
full-length body crease has a sporty kick-up in the door. Plus,
Triumph wanted to appeal to the American market with a hint of
tailfin. This example is clean and quite complete with good panels
fit in most places and doors that close with confidence. And the
brightwork is complete from the chrome bumpers to the trim line
that runs the full profile of this sports car. You may invest in
some added polish, body improvements, or even a respray. The value
price delivers the freedom to make these choices. And from day one
we like how this delivers a true vintage sports car style, right
down to the wire wheels with genuine knock-off hubs.
The TR4 was built to be a true all-weather machine thanks to the
roll-up windows and well-built folding roof. But this one also
looks terrific with the top down. The black has a good look against
the exterior maroon, and you can tell there has been a more recent
investment in many places. We especially like how the white piping
around the door panels and bucket seats coordinate with the dash
panel for a uniform sense of style. Sitting down behind the thin
and grippy Triumph steering wheel is a true sports car experience.
You get a true enthusiast's feeling in everything from the action
of the gearbox to watching the Jaeger gauges do their dance as you
go on down the road. And just in case you need better road trim
music, the radio is now a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner.
The correct 2138cc engine has a clean and tidy look that makes it
quite impressive. And we always love the look of the dual Stromberg
carbs boldly protruding from the side of the engine. This
powerhouse will need a tune-up to run ideally. It's part of any
good classic car maintenance plan, and if you already know
Triumphs, then you know what to do with this simple setup. We
really love the Triumph motor because it's a hardy powerhouse with
a terrific exhaust note, and the four-speed manual transmission
puts you in the center of the action. These sprightly drop-tops
have built a reputation for providing one of the best driving
experiences around, and it even stops securely with front disc
brakes.
This is a beautiful classic with the potential to be everything
from your favorite driver to a true show-stopper. It's open-top fun
with a lot to love. Call today!!!
