Registration Number: 435YUX
Restored beautifully over a 15 year period by a fastidious owner with some useful modern upgrades included. This Triumph Roadster ie resplendent in pale metallic Blue with the paint being pristine & having been the winner of various prizes.
To the interior is medium blue leather with blue carpets. All woodwork has been removed & refinished to show standards. A new Dark blue Mohair hood has also been installed. The usual twin dickey seats are also in blue leather in the fold out boot area which also contains a brand new spare tyre.
This Triumph is a serious performer compared to a standard car as it has a TR4a engine fitted running on a pair of twin choke Webber caburettors. The car was taken to the engineering shop of an F1 engineer & converted to hydraulic disc brakes to give it stopping power to match the engine. At the same time a brand new old stock gear box was sourced & fitted. Since then the car has covered around 5000 trouble free miles. The car has a high torque starter motor, alternator conversion, eletrical distributor, Kenlow fan, custom master cylinder, & alloy rocker box along with a full stainless steel exhaust. A new Differential was also fitted as was a new steering box.
Needless to say the car looks & goes far better then when new easily able to run in modern traffic. It is being sold due to the recent passing of the late owner. The upgrades make this a very very useable classic & it is indeed a pleasure to drive. A modern sound system is discreetly tucked away in the drives side glove box. This car was a labor of love for the last owner allowing the next owner to benefit from his amazing attention to detail.

About Triumph
Triumph, a name synonymous with classic sports cars and innovative designs, has a rich and storied history in the automotive world.The Triumph story began in the late 19th century when the company originally produced bicycles and then expanded into motorcycles. However, it was in the 1920s that Triumph ventured into the production of automobiles. Over the years, Triumph became renowned for its high-quality vehicles that combined performance with style.
One of Triumph's most iconic models was the TR3, introduced in the late 1950s. It was a classic British sports car, loved for its simple yet elegant design and thrilling driving experience. The TR3 was a symbol of affordable sports car enjoyment, and it set the stage for a series of successful TR models, including the TR4, TR5, and TR6.
In addition to sports cars, Triumph made a name for itself with Michelotti-designed sedans. The Triumph Herald, introduced in the early 1960s, was a compact family car that boasted stylish design and solid engineering. Later on, the Triumph 2000 and 2500 sedans catered to a more upscale market and earned a reputation for their comfortable rides and elegant looks.
However, despite its successes, Triumph faced numerous challenges over the years, including financial difficulties and ownership changes. In the 1980s, British Leyland, the company that owned Triumph, underwent significant restructuring, and the Triumph brand was gradually phased out.
The demise of Triumph was indeed sad and, to some extent, disgraceful. The company that had produced beloved sports cars and well-regarded sedans was slowly fading away. In 1984, the last Triumph-badged car rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era.
Although the Triumph name disappeared, its legacy lives on. Enthusiasts and collectors continue to cherish classic Triumph sports cars like the TR3, TR6, and Spitfire, as well as the unique charm of Triumph sedans. Triumph remains a symbol of British automotive heritage and the enduring appeal of classic sports cars.
In conclusion, Triumph's history is a blend of classic sports car excellence and innovative sedan design. Its sad and disgraceful demise serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many automakers over the years, but the spirit of Triumph lives on in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
