• Over £12,000 invested in improvements and recommissioning since 2021
• Comprehensive restoration in 1999 with photographic records
• Fitted with some tasteful upgrades
The Triumph TR4A was introduced in 1965, building upon the success of the TR4 with a number of refinements, most notably the introduction of independent rear suspension (IRS), which brought improved ride comfort and handling.
This attractive example has an interesting history, having been completely restored in 1999, including its chassis, bodywork and engine. Photographs documenting the restoration are present, together with a substantial collection of accompanying invoices and receipts. Interestingly, the current owner has owned the car twice. First purchasing it from TR Bitz in 2010, he subsequently sold it to fund the purchase of a TR5, something he admits he soon regretted. Having made it known that he would happily buy the car back should the opportunity arise, he was delighted when its subsequent owner contacted him in 2021, allowing him to reacquire it.
Although the bodywork and engine remained in very good order, some of the rubber components and seals had deteriorated, prompting a considerable programme of recommissioning and improvements over the past five years. These have included refreshed brakes and suspension with polybushes and adjustable dampers, upgraded CV driveshafts, a high-torque starter motor and restored black powder-coated wire wheels, shod with new Vredestein tyres. The interior has also been refreshed with new black leather and wool trim, carpets and seat foams, while a new mohair hood and Surrey top, improved front rail fixing, replacement seals and DAB radio have also been fitted.
Over £12,000 has been invested in these improvements, with the owner readily admitting that the expenditure rather exceeds the mileage covered! Clearly a much-loved car, this well-sorted TR4A is offered with an extensive history file, restoration photographs and considerable evidence of recent investment, and we think represents excellent value.
