"British Racing Roadster"

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1965 Triumph TR4A finished in classic British Racing Green with a black soft top over a black leather interior. Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, the TR4A carried forward the sharp Italian-influenced styling of the TR4 with clean lines, flared arches, and bright chrome bumpers, while adding subtle refinements that made it a more livable roadster. Wire wheels, chrome trim, and a proper convertible top complete the look, giving this Triumph the balance of elegance and sport that made it stand out in its era.

Power comes from the 2138cc inline-four paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, delivering the spirited and mechanical driving experience that British sports cars are known for. What set the TR4A apart mechanically was its introduction of independent rear suspension on most models, a major step forward from the solid axle of the earlier TR4. This upgrade gave the car improved comfort and far more composed handling over uneven roads, making it not only fun but also surprisingly capable as a touring car.

Inside, the TR4A kept to Triumph's straightforward approach, with purposeful black leather seating and a wooden dashboard veneer housing Smiths gauges for oil, temp, fuel, and amps. Roll-up windows, white sun visors, and an AM radio made it feel more civilized than its predecessors, particularly when compared to the side curtains of the TR3. The cabin was spartan but functional, with just enough refinement to make open-air motoring more enjoyable without losing the raw connection to the road.

Produced from 1965 through 1967, about 28,000 TR4As were built, but survivors today remain relatively scarce compared to contemporaries like the MGB. Collectors value them for their unique place in Triumph's lineage, bridging the gap between the earlier raw roadsters and the more refined TR6. This example embodies that balance of old-world charm and new-world usability, making it an especially appealing choice for those seeking a classic British roadster that is both fun to drive and rewarding to own.
