Triumph TR4 Surrey Top documented from day one, two owners from new, Long 1964
General description :
This superbly preserved Triumph TR4 Surrey-Top was supplied to a Mr. Clark by George Willis Motors of Ventura, California on the 4th January 1964. It was sold to its second and also last owner, Mr. Struth, on the 23rd November 1986, who kept the car for over 34 years. This car has all of its documentation from day one onwards. This even includes the original bill of sale in 1964, the bank transfers between the first and second owners! The last owner has also kept every registration card and all invoices from 1987 to 2019 amongst the true plethora of paperwork! Seldom have we seen a more completely documented example pass through our doors. This TR4 has never needed to be restored but has had excellent care lavished upon it, as one can see by just looking at the car and of course by the accompanying paperwork. The sound bodywork is nice and straight with excellent fittings. Although slightly dull, the paintwork partially has its original finish. The original motor bay and luggage compartment have been very neatly maintained. It has its original, ‘Signal Red’ finish pared with a black leather interior trim. The Surrey-Top has its original hard and soft-tops. This TR4 comes with chrome wire wheels, chrome luggage rack, a special exhaust system and Carello beams. In 2005 a new 5-speed gearbox was fitted. This Triumph has its original, matching numbers, engine that has had its numbers, accessories and colours authenticated by the Heritage Trust.

About Triumph
Triumph, a name synonymous with classic sports cars and innovative designs, has a rich and storied history in the automotive world.The Triumph story began in the late 19th century when the company originally produced bicycles and then expanded into motorcycles. However, it was in the 1920s that Triumph ventured into the production of automobiles. Over the years, Triumph became renowned for its high-quality vehicles that combined performance with style.
One of Triumph's most iconic models was the TR3, introduced in the late 1950s. It was a classic British sports car, loved for its simple yet elegant design and thrilling driving experience. The TR3 was a symbol of affordable sports car enjoyment, and it set the stage for a series of successful TR models, including the TR4, TR5, and TR6.
In addition to sports cars, Triumph made a name for itself with Michelotti-designed sedans. The Triumph Herald, introduced in the early 1960s, was a compact family car that boasted stylish design and solid engineering. Later on, the Triumph 2000 and 2500 sedans catered to a more upscale market and earned a reputation for their comfortable rides and elegant looks.
However, despite its successes, Triumph faced numerous challenges over the years, including financial difficulties and ownership changes. In the 1980s, British Leyland, the company that owned Triumph, underwent significant restructuring, and the Triumph brand was gradually phased out.
The demise of Triumph was indeed sad and, to some extent, disgraceful. The company that had produced beloved sports cars and well-regarded sedans was slowly fading away. In 1984, the last Triumph-badged car rolled off the production line, marking the end of an era.
Although the Triumph name disappeared, its legacy lives on. Enthusiasts and collectors continue to cherish classic Triumph sports cars like the TR3, TR6, and Spitfire, as well as the unique charm of Triumph sedans. Triumph remains a symbol of British automotive heritage and the enduring appeal of classic sports cars.
In conclusion, Triumph's history is a blend of classic sports car excellence and innovative sedan design. Its sad and disgraceful demise serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many automakers over the years, but the spirit of Triumph lives on in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the world.
