Check out on the web triumphtr4.com/specs-tr4a.html In 1962 the TR4 was introduced. Called 'zest' throughout its development, the TR4 portrayed the company's attitude with a redesigned body style. Designed by Michelotti, the nose featured a redesigned grille and headlight arrangement that it many ways seemed an evolution from the TR3A design. The doors were not cut-outs as had been on previous models. This change made room for wind-up windows instead of a fabric side-curtain. The rear end of the car too was redesigned and offered room for a trunk. Over the course of the TR4's production run, some 40,000+ were built.Keeping with its tradition, Triumph introduced its model TR4A in 1965. The 4A was altered just slightly from the TR4 in order to address complaints about ride comfort. Therefore, about the only difference between the TR4A and the TR4 was the use of an independent rear suspension instead of the live rear axle. TR4A's produced with the new independent rear suspension were marked with a badge that had the letters 'IRS'.The addition of the independent rear suspension with the many other changes of the TR4 made the car quite popular and even successful on the race track. The track of the TR4 was enlarged and rack-and-pinion steering was utilized. This helped to make the car handle much more predictable and stable. The transmission had been fully synchronized and the 2.1-liter, overhead valve, four-cylinder engine of the TR3A had also been enlarged and became capable of producing a little over 104 bhp. The car offered is a 1967 Triumph TR4A according to the title which clearly states 1967. However the VIN (CT51734L) indicates it was built in 1965. According to the seller (my brother) he believes that, back then, they had a “BUILT” date (1965), and a COMMERCIAL/SALE/1ST TIME SOLD date (1967), and why there is a discrepancy. Under the hood sits the 2.1-liter, 104 bhp four-cylinder engine with dual SU carburetors. The car consists of a four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension and hydraulic front disc brakes. This model chassis also included IRS.
