skeeter Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi all per my previous posts I am looking for a TR4 and having considered a few cars and the advice given by a number of you, I have settled on a TR4a as my desired model. I have seen a couple that I am planning to go and see but this one popped up today, it is such an unusual colour that I thought it might be recognised. (I love the colour, my daily driver is an Orange M5 ). https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C976308 Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi Ken, before the auction you need to go and look at the car in the flesh. Have a look here.http://www.tr-register.co.uk/tr-buyers-guides/triumph-tr4-4a Have you got anybody to take with you that knows the cars inside out. First priority it must have a very good if not perfect body. Engine/mechanicals are easier/cheaper to sort. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alec Pringle Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Indeed it is the Tucker machine . . . . . which I've known since before Phil rebuilt it in the 1990s. It's a superlative piece of kit, the best an indulgent father (and a very fine engineer at that) could achieve for his daughter. It would be very difficult to find a better 4A that's actually all-round road useable, as opposed to an out-and -out trailer queen. I was, incidentally, intending helping my son to purchase this car last year . . . . . but for an unexpected addition to his family now on the way, so he's staying with his old TR7 rather than moving on to a 4A. New babies come expensive ! The only down side is the colour, which is a love or hate for sure, but if this was painted BRG or Signal Red it's a £30K car.

skeeter Posted March 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Thanks all. Personally I love the colour, and am not after a trailer queen, nor am I a stickler for originality, to me this looks perfect. Ken Edited March 31, 2018 by skeeter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
