The Triumph TR4 was a sports car built in the United Kingdom by the Standard Triumph Motor Company and introduced in 1961. Code named "Zest" during development, the car was based on the chassis and drive train of the previous TR sports cars, but with a modern Michelotti styled body. 40,253 cars were built during production years. The TR4 proved very successful and continued the rugged, "hairy-chested" image that the previous TRs had enjoyed. The push-rod 4 cylinder engine based on the early design of the Ferguson tractor engine, was continued from the earlier TR2/3 models, however the displacement was increased from 1991cc to 2138cc in the TR4 by using a larger diameter piston. Other key improvements over the TR3 included a wider track front and rear, slightly larger standard engine displacement, full synchromesh on all forward gears, and rack and pinion steering. This particular car was just recently purchased out of a very large collection where it has been for the last number of years. Loaded with all of the options, this '65 TR4A is ready for any show or weekend drive. With the leaves changing, this little Triumph is the perfect car for a back road cruise! The beautiful red paint on the exterior of the car shows very well and has virtually no blemishes. The soft top on the car goes up and down smoothly, and seals tightly along with the tonneau cover which looks great. Both bumpers look great with no major damage to either. The same goes for the luggage rack. The interior of the car looks great, the vinyl seats and door panels look almost new and show no signs of wear. The carpet is equally as nice with no major stains of tears. The majority of the upholstery appears to be new and done within the past few years. The wood dash looks great, the wood has no peeling, cracking or rot. All the lights and blinkers work as well as all the gauges on the instrument cluster.The steering on the car is very tight and responsive, and the brakes work well. The engine, starts with no problems when you turn the key and runs great. No choking or pumping of the gas is needed. Just turn the key and the car fires right up emitting a great sound out of the dual stainless exhaust. In the trunk, you will find a jack and tool roll. The VIN number is CTC50221L. This is a fantastic driving Triumph that is sure to give you tons on enjoyment. Whether it be taking it to shows or driving through the winding hills with the top down. The car is a wonderful little European sportscar.
