The Triumph TR4 was introduced in 1961. Giovanni Michelotti's new bodyshell was modern, while beneath the skin, there were numerous chassis changes. Rack-and-pinion steering, widened front and rear track, and an all-synchromesh gearbox contributed to improved drivability, while wind-up windows were a big advance on the preceding TR3's primitive side screens. The standard engine under the bonnet was a 2138cc four-cylinder overhead-valve unit first offered on the TR3A. When equipped with the optional overdrive, the TR4 could achieve a top speed of nearly 110 mph. A rare factory option was the hardtop known as the 'Surrey Top,' an early attempt at a Targa. The hardtop panel featured a removable center panel, giving any TR4 so equipped a versatility unique at the time.
This particular example was completed on June 14th, 1962, and originally painted black with red leather trim. Delivered to the Standard Triumph Motor Company of Boston, Massachusetts, this early TR4 was one of the first 500 built and underwent an exhaustive multi-year restoration by Precision Autocraft of Massachusetts in the mid-1990s. The seats were upholstered in leather and trimmed in the original color. It was also given a period Nardi wood-rim steering wheel.
In 2013, the car was offered for sale at the Bonhams Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was offered without reserve and sold for $59,800, including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2013
