The Bolesworth Castle May 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1963 Triumph TR4
***NO RESERVE*** An exemplary restored, UK home-market example and arguably a concours contender
Registration - 600 CUH
Chassis No. - CT20219
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - 66,737
This much-cherished 1963 Triumph TR4 is described by the vendor as, quite simply, ‘excellent’ throughout. They have owned it since May 2020 and purchased it with the intention of a full body-off restoration. This took place during 2020, and ‘600 CUH’ was treated to a registered repaint in 2021 (where the colour was changed from the original red to Midnight Blue). The overhaul also included a rebuilt engine, gearbox and overdrive, “enhancing the performance and reliability of the vehicle”. With invoices for every component and process of the restoration, the history file is extremely comprehensive. The vendor says “everything looks practically new” and the interior trim “is all new and looks spectacular”. They observe the hard-top is in very good order, but do say the included soft top is rather tired. “We’ve not been informed of any technical faults,” they add, and confirm the car has been stored in an insulated workshop. This exemplary 1963 Triumph TR4 is arguably now a concours contender.
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:
· A very attractive and much-cherished example
· ‘Excellent’ condition throughout
· Fully restored in 2020-21 and now arguably a concours contender
