Triumph TR4A 1966


Specifications


Description

As British as they come, Triumph's pretty TR4 is a potent and muscular sports car, whose values are increasing steadily.

If you're looking for deadly accurate steering and handling to shame an Elise, then look elsewhere: this is definitely a sports car in the old-school (1960s) sense of the word. It can be hustled along with aplomb on twisty country roads, that's true, but in some ways this more an accomplished grand tourer than a screaming sportster. You really could imagine crossing countries in this car.

ABOUT THIS CAR

  • Independent rear suspension
  • All-synchromesh gearbox
  • Rack-and-pinion steering
  • Manual / Overdrive
  • The compact, yet comfortable cabin has it all, from the classic sprung steering wheel to the myriad dials.
  • Reassuringly uncomplicated, the TR4 sports a separate chassis and mostly bolt-on panels, which obviously makes home repairs and restoration that much easier.
  • Two owners in New Zealand – this is a dry state classic, imported to NZ, and first registered in New Zealand in 1998, when it had a professional restoration and conversion to RHD.
  • Excellent Condition Throughout

Just take a look at this car and you'll know why you want one – there's not an iffy angle or line anywhere to be seen on Michelotti's masterpiece, from the rounded front to the abrupt rear end. Factor in the grunty 2.1-litre ‘four', which elicits an evocative growl from the exhaust, and there can be few finer companions on a sunny back-road blast.

It's surprisingly practical, too sporting a spacious cabin and a particularly accommodating boot. Certainly, you could take one on a long-haul run and not have to skimp too much on your luggage allowance.

Triumph parts back-up is second to none, too, so if you can't find a particular widget for your car, chances are there's an alternative available.

Best of all, these cars are only increasing in value and the subtly upgraded, but considerably rarer TR4A (like this one) tends to be the car that many buyers actively seek out – this despite the inevitable higher asking prices. They are a particularly tempting medium-term investment. At the very least, you won't lose any money; chances are your return will improve considerably.

PRICE IS FIRM. Will be sold WOF'd and Registered.

TRANSPORT / WORLDWIDE SHIPPING CAN BE ORGANISED ON THIS VEHICLE ON BUYER'S BEHALF AT BUYERS COST.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.

The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.

The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
