1965 Triumph TR4

Commission #: CT40054L
Manufactured: Late 1964
Owned since: December 1968
Status: In restoration

Car has emerged from an extensive three year frame up restoration, which included: cleaning and detailing of the frame and engine bay. New floorboards, rocker sills, and the manufacture of the "A" footwell panels as well as a new battery shelf were involved. Drivetrain wise, the cylinder head has been upgraded to contemporary non-lead valves/guides, the engine detailed, and most importantly, she runs beautifully again. The car has several major improvements: new dash, windshield, weather-stripping, a complete new interior, carpeting, and leather upholstery kits on the detailed later TR high back/headrest seat frame, Minilight wheels, new wiring harness, and new top. All of my instruments are original, as is the steering wheel, and the self-rebuilt wiper motor. My present project is adding actual Vintage Road Lamps to the vintage racer style exterior, as well as a "Camellia Rallye" plaque, in honor of my wife, which is modeled after the famous '64 Rallye sticker . I really like the clean look which in its new aircraft quality "Iridescent Concord Blue Metallic", really accentuates the wonderful Triumph performance style .
