The Bolesworth Castle May 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1962 Triumph TR4
Registration - TSU 674
Chassis No. - CT10760-L
M.O.T. - April 2025
Odometer - 9,850
This charming little 1962 Triumph TR4 is smartly presented in popular Signal red with black interior and wood-rimmed Astrali steering wheel. Featuring painted wire wheels shod in Firestone tyres, this sporty Triumph comes with a desirable Surrey Top - which includes both a hard-top and soft-top. It has an MOT to 11 April 2025 and has been regularly serviced, while the vendor tells us that electronic ignition means it “starts and runs well”. Electric overdrive is another desirable feature, too. While the odometer displays 9,850, it must be remembered that this is a five-digit display. The vendor adds that 'TSU 674' has covered fewer than 10,000 miles in the past 20 years, and MOT records do bear that out. The car comes with a large file of invoices and work carried out. The bodywork is described as 'good', with 'average' paintwork (a description we feel might be a little harsh), and the vendor reports it is "clean and tidy" with "no rust".
The Triumph TR4 was produced between 1961 and 1965, succeeding the Triumph TR3A. While the chassis and drivetrain were closely related to its predecessor, the TR4 featured a gorgeous new body designed by Michelotti, which really brought the famous Triumph sports car line straight into the swinging sixties. A distinctive feature was the bulge on the bonnet, designed to clear the twin carburettors. The 2.2-litre engine was enlarged over the TR3A, producing an exciting 100bhp. The Triumph TR4 was a particularly popular export car, with many heading to the sunshine states of the US.
In summary:
· “Clean and tidy” 1962 Triumph TR4
· Includes desirable Surrey Top
· Regularly serviced with bulging file of invoices
