1963 Triumph TR4 | Thaxted, Essex

A 1963 Triumph TR4, the Michelotti-styled British roadster that brought wind-up windows and rack-and-pinion steering to Triumph's sports cars. It is liked for its robust four-cylinder engine, roomy boot and squared-off early-1960s lines. The model offered an optional lift-out roof panel five years before the Porsche Targa. This car is green with a blue interior, in very good condition, and it seats two. Its low, open body keeps the location visible around it, and the full-height doors give it a more finished look than the TR3 it replaced. For advertising, photography and fashion or editorial shoots, the open silhouette and distinctive bonnet and headlamp treatment suit early-1960s settings. Film, TV and music video work gets a period British sports car that reads clearly on camera, and events can use it as a display piece. It also makes a stylish wedding or anniversary car. It is based in Thaxted, Essex.
