Exterior
Looking sharp in the classic Racing Green paintwork, this ‘67 TR4A presents very nicely indeed. Having been treated to total chassis-up restoration in 1986 at 31k miles, albeit an older re-build, the car still appears in fine condition throughout, not perfect but still a testament to the thorough work carried out. This example comes with the Surrey Top with both soft and hard top covers. Finer details such as the rubber seals and trims are in good order, and the chrome elements are very solid with only minor patination. The wheels have been upgraded to 15-inch Minilite alloys wearing Michelin radial tyres.

Interior
The interior space feels very original throughout. The black seats are in excellent condition with no sagging or tears to be found, as are the black carpets which remain in fine order. The attractive wooden dashboard is free from any sun damage and the beautiful original banjo steering wheel is a joy to operate. This example features the 4-speed gearbox with overdrive. Within the boot area you will find the spare wheel, soft-top, and indoor car cover.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Lifting the bonnet you will find a very presentable bay housing the original 2,138cc inline 4 engine. This was subject to a total re-build in 1986 including new valves, camshaft, timing chain and uprated clutch. In more recent years work includes a replacement aux belt, float chamber gasket, oil changes, spark plug replacement, and tuning of the carbs. Upon arrival, our trusted workshop inspected the vehicle and were very impressed with the solid underside condition and drive. They replaced the rocker cover gasket and gave it a fresh oil and filter change.
History File
This beautiful TR4A was first registered in July 1967; quite remarkably its only had 2 keepers from new, the current having purchased it in 2018. Within the history file you will find photographic evidence of the restoration from 1986, a Triumph manual and service booklet, MOT certificates dating back to 1998, Concours judging form, a list (and photos) of Trophies won from various events throughout the ‘90s, as well as a handful of recent invoices for service work and replacement parts.

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.
