For your consideration we have a very nice 1964 Triumph TR4.A well-known classic British sports car that is a good example and certainlyone of the best looking in the Triumph series. This TR4 has been maintained bythe same family for the past 30 years, passed down from father to son, and is anauthentic black plated California car.
After having sat in a garage for the past 12 years, thecurrent owner sought to get the car back up and running. The fuel system hasbeen gone through, having had the carburetors cleaned out, fuel lines, and fuelpump replaced, along with a good used fuel tank fitted. The brakes were alsosorted out at this time; the rear wheel cylinders and shoes were replaced andthe system was bled with fresh brake fluid. As a result, this TR4 does run anddrive, however it could use a good tune up to get it running more smoothly.
Having undergone an older rebuild by Larones Motorsport in1996, this Triumph has been equipped with weber carburetors, a stainless-steelexhaust, and the engine has been improved to suit a lightened flywheel,oversized pistons, and the head has been shaved for better performance.
The exterior British racing green paint is in decentcondition and believed to be the original color of the car. There is crackingand chipping away of the paint in places (see pictures), with an overall snakeskin appearance if looked at closely. From a distance it is very good looking.The body is very straight with good lines, and the fit and gap of the doors andbody panels is excellent. This TR4 has not had fallen victim to accidents orhad any major body damage in its lifetime. The chrome front and rear bumpers areexcellent, the trim is complete and looks very nice as well. The glass is allclear without scratches or chips. The top frame assembly is in good workingcondition and comes with a new tan soft-top. The original white tonneau coveris decent but there are some blemishes as to be expected considering its age alongwith a small tear. However, all hardware to fit the tonneau properly are inplace. The wheels were painted green to match the exterior paint and arecomplete with Triumph embossed hub caps and tires that have plenty of treadleft on them, however they are old and should probably be replaced before anylong drives.
The interior has been redone and is a nice shade betweengray and dark brown, which suits the green exterior very nicely. The seats arein good shape without any rips or tears but the passenger side seat backing haspulled away and needs to be reattached. The door panels match theseats with the same material. The door panel pockets are a little baggy butfunctional. The black carpeting is original, tidy, and complete. The green metaldash is excellent and has an attractive wood surround that looks like its meantto be there, though it is not original to the car. It is missing its glove box. Electrically this TR4 is sound.The gauges are functional at the time of this writing. The headlights, taillights, brake lights, and indicators all function properly.
Overall this Triumphis a fun example that has been slightly modified for some added performance. Asalways, I would advise inspecting the car in person if at all possible.
