Superbly presented, this example of Triumph’s TR4 comes ideally specified in white bodywork with burgundy folding canvas roof, tonneau cover, and leather upholstered cabin, including cream piping on the seats. Powered by the four-cylinder 2,138cc engine found in all TR4s, ‘RFP 871B’ also features the model’s four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The 2+2 interior is trimmed in burgundy carpet as well as leather seats and door cards, with body-coloured dashboard, wooden-rimmed steering wheel, and wood-topped gear stick. The authentic cabin includes original dials and switchgear, as well as radio mounted under the dashboard.

Including electronic ignition, ‘RFP 871B’ has seen the chrome work maintained all-round, and has been regularly used and cared for. New tyres fitted have covered fewer than 2,000 miles, and is used on longer-distance trips repeatedly. All wet-weather gear has been replaced, as well as the carpets and seat coverings. An air-screen has been fitted behind the front seats for more refinement when driven with the roof down. The Triumph has been refurbished ten years ago by the current owner, who has had the Triumph in their care for almost 15 years. They are just the third owner in the car’s 35 year history, and ‘RFP 871B’ comes with a 'huge' file of paperwork and receipts. Described as being in ‘good’ condition throughout, covering the engine, transmission, electrics, bodywork, paint, and interior.

• Well maintained and cared-for Triumph TR4
• Classic roadster style with timeless specification
• 'Huge' history file

Triumph introduced the TR4 in 1961 as a successor to the TR3A roadster, designed by Michelotti on similar mechanicals to the outgoing model, but with a far more modern design. The two-door convertible carried over a bored-out 2,138cc straight-four engine and four-speed manual gearbox, which included overdrive on second, third, and fourth. Production started in July, and continued until January 1965, with a little over 40,000 units built during that time - only around 2,500 cars were sold domestically, with a focus on export markets.
