Triumph TR4A Surrey

This 1967 Triumph TR4A is a US-market car that was brought to the UK in 1990 and converted to right-hand drive. It is the live-axle version rather than the independent rear suspension (IRS) car. Finished in red with a black vinyl interior and a Surrey top, it has overdrive on the manual gearbox and a 2.0-litre engine making 104 bhp.

The recorded mileage is modest. MOT history runs from 1992 and shows the car covering around 11,000 miles in over three decades, with 53,502 miles now showing. It has had eight keepers and comes with the V5C, manuals, 21 MOT certificates, two sets of keys and a large file of invoices.

Recent work is extensive. It includes a reconditioned differential, new front calipers, clutch hydraulics, fuel pump, radiator, starter motor and windscreen, a rebuilt distributor and a stainless exhaust. The dealer describes it as a carefully maintained car rather than a restoration. It notes some micro-blistering in the paint, patina on the rear bumper and a vinyl-wrapped dashboard, with solid chassis rails and floors.
