Descrição
Here we have a fabulous example of a fast-road or potential road-rally Triumph TR4, offered from our own private collection, and presented in exceptional condition with very recent, high-quality mechanical investment.
Originally supplied new to Switzerland in 1963, this TR4 was repatriated to the UK in the early 1990s and has since been developed with real care and clear intent. The car underwent a full body restoration and is still holding up very well. During this was the colour change into Aston Martin Pearlescent Blue Metallic, a striking and elegant finish that contrasts beautifully with the original red steel Surrey top. It is a combination that feels both purposeful and special, and one that you simply do not see every day.
Mechanically, this is where the car truly shines. In December 2025, extensive engine work was carried out by TR Enterprises, with no corners cut. The 89mm 2. 2-litre engine has been rebuilt using a new piston and liner kit, uprated connecting rods, uprated timing components and a TR Enterprises fast-road “Orange” camshaft, specifically designed for strong, usable fast-road performance. The cylinder head has been fully prepared with new valves and guides, alongside a composite head gasket, new oil pump, bearings and supporting components throughout. The engine is lightened and balanced and produces just over 150bhp, supported by a dyno printout on file. The result is a TR4 that feels eager, tractable and confidence-inspiring across the rev range.
The suspension has been set up with road-rally style handling gear, giving the car a planted, confidence-inspiring feel without compromising usability on the road. Combined with the overdrive gearbox — selectable on second, third and fourth gears via a logic box — the TR4 is equally at home on fast A-roads, flowing B-roads or longer touring journeys.
The gearbox performs exactly as it should, with overdrive available on second, third and fourth gears via a logic box, making the car equally at home on fast A-roads or longer touring. Thoughtful upgrades include auxiliary switches operating the spotlights, electric cooling ***, electric cut-off and fuel-pump cut-off, all neatly integrated and in keeping with the car’s fast-road character.
Thoughtful upgrades include auxiliary switches operating the spotlights, electric cooling ***, electric cut-off and fuel-pump cut-off, all neatly integrated and in keeping with the car’s fast-road character. Inside, the TR4 is fitted with comfortable rally-style seats and harnesses, creating a purposeful driving environment while remaining perfectly usable.
On the road, this is a car that immediately instils confidence — responsive, engaging and hugely enjoyable to drive. Visually, the bumper-delete look, alloy sump guard, spotlights and Minilite wheels underline the intent of the build and ensure it stands out from the crowd for all the right reasons.
Supplied with a substantial history file documenting both its past and recent works, the car will be sold with a fresh service and MOT, along with 12 months’ complimentary membership to the TR Register.
This is not a lightly prepared example, nor one to be compared with poorly built alternatives. It is a properly sorted, enthusiast-specification TR4 from our own collection, with significant investment in all the right areas — ready to be driven, enjoyed and appreciated.
