Powder Blue TR4 Targa
The car is an early 1962 UK (Jersey) car which had a nut and bolt, body off, restoration with a CTM improved chassis - work completed in 2011 (body off build photos available to view). CTM also arranged the engine and gearbox work at the same time and many bills are available. Car was resprayed in its original powder blue colour. I have a heritage certificate for the car and owner information back to 1995.
The car has some sensible modifications; alternator, narrow fan belt conversion, electric fan, relays, battery safety isolator, emergency bonnet release catch. Overdrive on 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears, twin pipe exit stainless steel ‘extractor’ exhaust, spin on oil filter, Vredestein tyres, disc brakes on front, handbrake on tunnel, Motolita steering wheel, spot lamps, K&N alloy wheels with a steel spare.
It is a Targa model with slate blue leather seats with headrests, matching carpets and has a Surrey top in good condition with unused matching powder blue metal hardtop with lining all in perfect condition (additional £1500). The paintwork is generally very good, chrome work is also in good condition. The car won the TR Register “Car of the Show” at the Bo’Ness Hillclimb in 2016.
We have owned the car for six enjoyable years putting on around 10k miles in that time driving it on car club tours and summer runs. Never let us down. The car has always been dry stored.
It is mechanically very sound and completely reliable with a still impressive performance. It deserves more use than we have been able to give it recently; only 800 miles since its previous MOT in 2020. It comes with a current MOT (Nov 21) with no advisories.
