The Triumph TR4, produced from 1961 to 1967, represented a major modernization of the TR line. With a sharp new body styled by Giovanni Michelotti, it introduced features like roll-up windows and an innovative optional hardtop called the Surrey Top. Power came from a 2138cc inline-4 engine carried over from the TR3, providing brisk performance for the era.
Collectors are drawn to the TR4's handsome styling and improved practicality over its predecessors. It's an accessible British roadster with excellent club support and parts availability, making it a great choice for enthusiasts who enjoy driving and maintaining their own cars. The later TR4A model, with its optional independent rear suspension (IRS), is particularly sought after for its superior ride comfort.
The market for the TR4 is mature, with an average price of around $23,000. This positions it as an affordable classic, though the spread is wide. The lowest prices are for neglected projects, while top sales are reserved for professionally restored cars with desirable options like overdrive and the Surrey Top.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the biggest concern. Thoroughly inspect the sills, floor pans, wheel arches, and chassis outriggers.
- The optional Laycock de Normanville overdrive is highly desirable for highway driving. Ensure it engages and disengages smoothly in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears.
- Check the engine for low oil pressure when warm, which can indicate worn main bearings. Also listen for timing chain noise.
- The Surrey Top is a valuable option. Verify it's complete with the rear window section, the metal center panel, and the soft tonneau.
- On TR4A models, confirm if it has the more desirable independent rear suspension (IRS) or the standard live axle, as both were offered.
Prices range from $980 for project cars to $52,500 for the best restored examples.
