In October 1961, TRIUMPH introduced the TR4 on the same technical basis as its predecessor: a solid separate chassis, a 2-liter engine derived from the large series, all with a decidedly more modern line designed by Michelotti. The most significant point of progress regarding the TR4 is undoubtedly comfort. The rack and pinion steering makes driving much smoother and more enjoyable compared to its predecessor, the wild TR3 and its box steering, not to mention its masculinity. Bodywork / Exterior: The model presented here is a TR4 from January 1962 in its period "British Racing Green" color. The bodywork has been recently restored. On this occasion, the shell received a complete new paint job. The latter is in excellent presentation condition, showing a uniform shade and excellent brightness. After a professional polishing performed with orbitals from our workshop, we noticed the presence of a small dent and some minor defects under the paint of the hood and trunk, as well as a small corrected paint chip on the edge of the driver's door. The bumpers and their chrome supports were replaced during the bodywork restoration. The latter are in excellent condition despite a slightly improvable alignment. The mohair hood in "Tan" color is in excellent condition despite the presence of some small stains in the center. Its installation is easy although the alignment with the side windows remains improvable. The rear PVC micas are perfectly translucent and show no cracks or breaks. This specimen has a "Black" synthetic leather tonneau cover (to be adapted). The 4 painted spoke wheels in 15'' are in excellent condition. The latter received a "Gun Grey" paint job during the bodywork restoration. Their chrome knock-offs are in perfect condition. The 4 WIDETRACK Radial tires show less than 30% wear both front and rear. The spare wheel is present in its original housing located under the trunk. Among the interesting Bodywork / Exterior options and equipment that this specimen is equipped with, we noted: the "Black" synthetic leather tonneau cover. Interior: The interior was restored a few years ago in accordance with the original and now appears in excellent presentation condition. The "Tan" synthetic leather upholstery shows no patina or signs of wear or discoloration. The matching door panels are in excellent condition. Only the glove compartments show a slight difference in shade. The original "White" dashboard and its "Black" synthetic leather visor are also in excellent condition. Small cracks are still present on the center console. The entire JAEGER on-board instrumentation as well as the LUCAS ammeter are perfectly functional. The MOTO-LITA 3-spoke wooden steering wheel is in perfect condition. The TRIUMPH wooden gear knob is in perfect condition.
