The Appeal
The Triumph TR4, penned by Giovanni Michelotti, brought a crisp, modern silhouette to the TR lineage while retaining the rugged, torquey character that made its predecessors so enjoyable on the open road. Its 2,100cc inline-four, rooted in the Standard Vanguard engine family, delivers strong low-down torque ideally suited to relaxed, characterful motoring, complemented here by an overdrive unit.
This example was imported from the UK to New Zealand in 2024 and has reportedly benefited from a thorough mechanical overhaul, with almost all mechanical items refreshed. The seller notes that the work is supported by detailed invoices. Power-assisted brakes have been added, and the vendor reports that the Exchange Standard engine starts easily with minimal choke and runs smoothly, noting only a slight tappet noise. The bodywork appears free from major defects, the interior remains intact, and all instrumentation is operational. Stored in its owner's garage when not driven, and carrying a valid Warrant of Fitness through to October 2026, this TR4 presents as a usable classic.
