Description

The condition of this beautiful and unique sports car is impeccable. Everything is concours-ready, and ride quality is phenomenal. Performance-wise the car is stunning. The 2. 2-litre engine pulls extremely well, steering and braking are reassuringly sharp and precise, the telescopic dampers mean the car grips the road well, adding to handling, and the gearbox engages well and delivers smooth and accurate gear changes. This car really does have a special feel to it, every last aspect of the drive feels like it has been engineered to perfection.

It's only fitting that a car whose internals are this good should be the loudest, proudest colour of all. The bodywork, of course, is immaculate, and let's not forget that the Triumph TR4 was a design classic in its own right, certainly one of the best-looking cars Triumph ever made. And still a highly-regarded and much-loved sports car even today.

This rebuild basically took a fantastic sports car and made it quite simply brilliant, at the same time bringing the car right into the modern era with every possible electrification, yet all without losing sight of the magic of the original Triumph TR4A. 'Racetorations' have done a thoroughly professional job on it, and as a result, it is now ready for anyone who loves classic sports cars to take it out and enjoy it to the max without a care in the world.

Anyone in the market for an absolute top-notch classic sports car is strongly recommended to take a close look at this piece of engineering brilliance.
