Codenamed 'Zest', the TR4 was introduced in 1961. Though, based on the chassis and drivetrain of its much-loved TR3A predecessor, the newcomer cut a far more modern dash thanks to its all-new Michelotti-styled body. Power was provided by Triumph's proven 2138cc OHV four-cylinder engine, while mechanical updates included a wider track front and rear, rack and pinion steering and all-synchromesh gearbox. The optional overdrive was now made to operate on second and third gears as well as top. The final iteration of the TR4 was the TR4A, introduced in 1965. This embodied a number of small styling changes and upgrades to the specification but, more pertinently, some 75 percent of TR4As were equipped with independent rear suspension (IRS).
The right-hand drive, 'home market' TR4A on offer is one of the desirable IRS cars. Built in 1965, it is finished in Red with Black leather upholstery and a Surrey top. Self-evidently the subject of past restoration work, the Triumph rides on wire wheels and sports BRDC, BARC and Le Mans Classic emblems to its wooden dashboard. Reportedly accompanied by 'an inches thick history file and touring kit (spare bulbs etc)', 'HLW 978C' also possesses a MOT certificate valid until May 2016.
