1963 Triumph TR4. A true British sports car from the golden age of powerful compact, quick and fun cars. I have owned this car for the past 8 years.
It is fully road registered in NSW until June 2027 and runs very well. The car had a prang a couple of years ago where I left the handbrake off and it careered down a small incline into the back of my wife’s car. The resulting front end damage is superficial as far as driving goes but resulted in a creased bonnet/wings, a bent front bumper and a few other dents and bruises. Radiator and chassis were untouched. I drive the car every now and again and I had been intending to restore it to a more cosmetically acceptable state but am no longer able to so it’s up for sale.
The bad:
• Front body work damage caused by collision
• Paintwork poor particularly at rear of car
• Slight gearbox oil leak (from bellhousing to gearbox bolt stripped thread) - put a new clutch and pressure plate in it a few years ago and thought it would hold tight enough….but it didn’t!....so it drips a little)
The good:
• Has stainless 2 inch power exhaust and sports manifold full system with a wonderful throaty note and tone (it also adds about 20% power they reckon)
• New front and rear stainless bumpers/overriders ready to fit
• Five used wire wheels (four with tyres)
• Brand new new SU carbs fitted (original Stromberg’s included in sale) and rebuilt original distributor (electronic conversion)
• Rebuilt dynamo
• Leather seats and pretty good carpets
• Car has fully functioning overdrive and heater
• Car has the valuable surrey top and matching mini rag roof plus I have a softop frame, tonneau and ‘as new’ canvas soft top
• New leaf springs ready to fit and lots of other new and old parts
• Engine was rebuilt during previous owner’s time and has great compression in all cylinders
• Windscreen recently replaced
• All dials and gauges work
• New Stainless pistons in front disc calipers
• Solid body and chassis with only light surface rust
• Would drive it pretty much anywhere. She’s a real goer.
Located near Port Macquarie, NSW but will be happy to assist with transport company if required.
Basically this car has got the full package. All of the options available at the time, road registered til next June for around half the price of a fully restored one.
Smiles per miles?…..a lot!
