1966 TRIUMPH TR4. RUNS GREAT. NEW HEAD GASKET & MACHINED HEAD LESS THAN 100 MILES AGO. NEW INTERIOR AND DASH. PAINT HAS NICE PATINA BUT IS NOT PERFECT. NICE WIRE WHEELS WITH VINTAGE MICHELIN RED LINE TIRES. TOP IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE SPEEDOMETER/ ODOMETER. IT JUST NEEDS THE CABLE REPLACED. THE ODOMETER READS 79,000 BUT ACTUAL MILES ON THE CAR IS UNKNOWN. I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE CAR. I HATE TO PART WITH THIS CAR BUT, I NEED THE MONEY. IT IS A GOOD DRIVER AND ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY NICE, ITS NOT SO PERFECT THAT YOU WORRY ABOUT TAKING IT OUT AND PARKING IT SOMEWHERE. THE TOP IS LIKE NEW AS WELL. ONE JUST LIKE MINE, A 66 TR4 ALSO, JUST SOLD YESTERDAY ON EBAY FOR $25K. I'M SURE IT WAS A LITTLE NICER THAN MINE BUT, NOT $13K NICER! JUST MY OPINION OF COURSE. PLEASE MESSAGE ME THROUGH EBAY WITH ANY QUESTIONS. IF YOU'D LIKE TO TALK WITH ME ABOUT THE CAR, SEND ME YOUR PH0NE # AND I WILL CALL YOU AS SOON AS I CAN. JUST REALIZED THAT WHEN I ANSWERED THE QUESTION BELOW ABOUT THE TOP, I FORGOT TO SAY WHAT THE MATERIAL WAS. IT IS A VINYL TOP IN BRAND NEW CONDITION. I WILL TRY AND POST A PIC OF IT LATER TODAY. ALSO, THE OIL SOAKED CARDBOARD YOU SEE UNDER THE CAR IS NOT FROM THIS CAR. ITS MOSTLY FROM ANOTHER BRITISH CAR I HAD BEFORE. BUT, LIKE ANY BRITISH CAR, THIS ONE DOES DRIP A LITTLE, I WOULD NOT SAY THAT IT DRIPS A LOT. ALSO SELLING MY 69 MINI COOPER (SEE LAST PIC). MESSAGE ME IF INTERESTED. IT IS A VERY FAST MINI, LEFT HAND DRIVE WITH ROLL BAR AND 1380CC MOTOR. Here is some more info on the TR4's. While the Triumph TR4A was technically little more than an upgraded TR3, in so many ways it became much more. The Michelotti styled bodywork added an Italian flair to the utilitarian little Triumph. The inset headlights, crisp fender lines and uncluttered, slab-sided bodywork combined to create a thoroughly modern and stylish sports car that was leaps and bounds ahead of the simplistic TR3. Fine lines aside, the TR4 featured Triumph..s robust 2 liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a 4 speed gearbox. Being a TR4A, independent rear suspension is fitted, a first for Triumph. The driving experience is pure British sports car. The rorty little engine has abundant torque, the ride is firm but well controlled and the handling is light and enjoyable. Disc brakes in front and drums in the rear haul the car to a stop with confidence.
