Description
This excellent original project car is now reluctantly offered for sale. We had hoped to find time to do it in our own wokshops but we are inundated with work. The car is completely original and untouched. We purchased the car from the current owner in Florida. It arrived here and was registered January 2023.
The owner in Florida was a TR4 marque specialist and he had set this aside as his last car to do for himself. Unfortunately his health failed
and he had no alternative but to sell the car.
The car was a custom order and build by the factory for Mr Charles J Shelanskey and there is a plaque on the dash from Triumph Motor Cars. The speedometer shows a mileage of 32947 which we believe to be correct although there are no service records or history with the vehicle.
The car is still in its original black paint and Matador red interior and comes along with a white hard top , hood frame and remnants of the original hood.
There is minimal rust anywhere on the body and the inner front wings and wheel arches which are notorious for rot are Perfect. There is a little to be done underneath but even this is minimal and straight forward. The lines are excellent , no door sag or closing of gaps. The body in general is excellent to with a little bit of work to be done on the top of one of the rear wings.
The engine turns by hand but we have not done anything to start the car.
As a project it is about as good as it gets and an easy job to get underway for spring enjoyment. We rarely see such original cars these days. The car is located at our warehouse for viewing in Sheffield.
