Leicester, Leicestershire, England
1964 Triumph TR4 | Leicester The Triumph TR4 is the quintessential British sports car and icon of the swinging 60s, blending muscular Giovanni Michelotti styling with an unmistakable 1960s soul. Dressed in classic British Racing green, this roadster captures the spirit of a golden era where every journey was an adventure and every curve in the road was an invitation to explore. This is an original UK car, ordered in September 1964 by Manchester City Police as one of their fast pursuit cars. Now nicknamed 'Bobby' for this police connection, she has been fully restored from the ground up, including a complete engine rebuild, respray from police white to British Racing Green and chrome wire wheels. This stunning example of British motoring heritage stands out with its sharp, aggressive lines and signature bonnet bulge, hinting at the punchy 2138cc, 4 cylinder, 101 horsepower engine with twin Weber carburetors. She sounds fantastic. The rich green exterior is perfectly complemented by a warm Tan leather interior, creating a timeless aesthetic that radiates sophistication and rugged charm. Meticulously maintained and looking good from any angle, she is also fitted with disc breaks, seatbelts and an optional windbreaker. A green convertible roof allows for open air motoring and fantastic photos. A real head turner with an engine sound to match. As a right-hand drive manual, it offers an authentic, tactile driving experience that connects the driver to the road, making it the choice for driving enthusiasts seeking a pure vintage sensation. The TR4’s versatile "vibe" makes it a premier choice for a variety of high-profile uses; its iconic silhouette is a favorite for period film and TV productions, while its elegant colour palette provides a sophisticated backdrop for fashion photography and editorial shoots. It offers mid-century, swinging 60s cool, that looks as good in the album as it does on the road. Whether being used to add a touch of class to a special event or photoshoot in the Leicestershire countryside, this TR4 projects an image of 60s charisma and heritage.
