About this car

This 1965 Triumph TR4 is a left-hand-drive car that spent most of its life in Texas and California, which the dealer says explains a rust-free body. It now carries a UK registration, FNA509C.

Recent work has moved it away from its US-market specification. The original Stromberg carburettors have been replaced with European SUs, a 123 electronic ignition has been fitted, and the car has a new steering rack and track rod ends. The dealer says further recent work was done to bring it up to spec.

The mileage is given as 74,000, described as believed genuine. The interior and hood are reported to be in good order, with no rips or tears in the roof. The previous owner drove it from the Algarve to Northampton, nearly 900 miles, without trouble.
