Triumph TR4 IRS 1968
General description :
It is quite remarkable to get a British sports car in from its first Dutch owner. Who in the world still owns his or her newly acquired car after 52 years? This is a real nice drivers car. It is an older restoration that is still in very good shape. The paintwork is neat with only minor blemishes. The bodywork is as solid as a rock, original with nice and thin correctly aligned body panels. The chrome wire wheels and other chrome brightwork is in very good condition. The chassis is also very neat. The high quality “Sonnenland” hood is in fine condition. The hood closes securely and other than a little damage to one of the side windows, is otherwise undamaged. A matching tonneau cover is available for days that allow you to go topless. The neat interior trim has a fine lived-in condition. The blue leather with white piping has a lovely patina. The wooden dashboard is also neat with all instruments in working order. Mechanically this Triumph TR4 is ready for many more pleasant miles of top-down driving. The 2.1 litre 4-cylinder engine is couples to a 4-speed gearbox and delivers 104 Hp. The engine runs perfectly and sounds great thanks to the twin open-air filters and the stainless steel exhaust system. The weighs in at only 1,016 kg and thanks to its independent rear suspension (IRS) has fantastic roadholding qualities. This is the one you would want to have. Furthermore the car has some nice Lucas spotlights, a chrome luggage rack and an overdrive. In short a fantastic, “proper Dutch” Triumph TR4A.

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.
