Triumph TR4 Surrey Top

This 1964 Triumph TR4 is a UK-supplied, right-hand-drive car that still carries its original registration, FOO 700B. It was built in August 1964 and sent to the Triumph dealer Lambs of Woodford Green, Essex. It was finished from new in Signal Red with a black interior.

The factory specification is better than most. Options included a heater, sun visors, chrome 60-spoke wire wheels, Dunlop SP tyres, windscreen washers, an occasional rear seat and the Surrey Top hard top. The hard top is painted in body colour and has a white vinyl headlining. A canvas soft top and frame also come with the car.

The wheels have been refurbished and now wear Continental tyres. The chassis has recently been cleaned and undersealed. Practical changes include a narrow fan belt conversion, an electric cooling fan, an alternator conversion, K&N air filters and a stainless-steel exhaust. The overdrive is reported to work correctly. The black leather seats have red piping, and the dashboard is the original red-painted one. The page gives no mileage.
