"A delightful, open and classic driving experience. Lovely sound, a fluttering soft top, and stylish wire wheels – all the ingredients are in place."

Description

The car arrived in Sweden from the USA in 1990 and was first registered for road use in 1993 by the current owner. He purchased it partly in pieces, completed the build himself, and has used it in that condition ever since. It’s not a show car, but a TR4A in pleasant everyday condition. The speedometer is an MPH gauge with kilometre markings—so the odometer reads in miles. The most recent approved inspection was carried out on 2 June 2022.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine sounds strong, though the carburettors need a bit of fine-tuning according to the owner, even though they were rebuilt a few years ago. The gearbox shifts smoothly and the brakes pull straight. The drive shafts and joints have been replaced and are fitted with grease nipples. It rides on older Continental tyres with good tread, mounted on wire wheels the owner purchased new in Sweden.

  • Interior condition:

    A neat and attractive interior—the carpets feel slightly older than the seat upholstery and door panels. The wooden dashboard isn’t finished with a high-gloss varnish, but it presents acceptably in its classic style.

  • Exterior condition:

    Painted in the USA in the late 1980s, the finish shows some wear and minor blemishes. All the body panels are original metal—no plastic replacements. In the photos, the undercarriage and frame display surface rust only, not structural corrosion—they remain solid and sound. The doors have slight alignment issues, most of which can be corrected with proper adjustment. The chrome is presentable, with a few small blisters here and there. The lamp housings were rechromed in Sweden, while the rest of the trim dates from the U.S. restoration. The newest component is the soft top, which is a couple of years old.

  • General condition:

    A 1960s British classic in a practical, everyday-use condition, yet still brimming with all the timeless charm these cars possess.

Facts about the model

The TR4 model was introduced for the 1961 model year and built in its basic form through 1965. Much of the mechanical layout remained unchanged, but it featured a new body styled by Giovanni Michelotti—Italian design was all the rage at the time. In early 1965, the chassis and rear suspension were updated to independent rear suspension, delivering a smoother ride and enhanced comfort. This variant was designated the TR4A IRS. Not everyone was pleased: in the U.S. it was deemed too expensive, and purists felt it rode too softly. As a result, the non-IRS TR4A continued in production alongside it, primarily for the American market.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
