It truly is stunning!

Thanks. I finally did one just the way I wanted it.

Beautiful TR4A in showroom condition. I had once upon a time a sky blue Sunbeam Alpine in not so great condition. But driving a roadster in the rain with a canvass top that leaks was a lot of fun.

Thank you for the positive comments. I certainly agree with you.

Thank you very much.

Truly a restomod triumph in all senses of the word! 😁

Thank You

that was always Triumph's problem, their accountants never allowed the cars to be fully developed.

But there was the Shelby Cobra. Same difference.

Thank you. It is truly awesome

Thanks. It is very special!

@@hlmheco I have owned 30 British cars, to include Rover 3500 V8 SD1, half dozen MGs ( currently a 63 MGB) Fairthorpe Electron Climax ( one of 21). Never was a Triumph fan. This car has changed my mind. Gorgeous and practical, style and class, skill and reverence, impeccable.

Jeff: I too have owned many British cars, mostly Resto-mods but not 30, maybe a dozen. I had this one built special to include everything. I'm also having a Triumph GT6 2dr hatchback) built along the same line as this TR4A. They will be keepers as I will never get my investment out of them. I also have a '67 MGB, right hand drive with a GM Ecotec 4 cy supercharged engine that was Dyno tested at 250 HP. I plan to sell it as soon as a few paint flaws are repaired. It also is very special and very well done but a lot more reasonably priced. It's blue and there is a video of it on KZfaq. Listed as: '1967 MGB For Sale w/250 HP GM 2.0L Ecotec Supercharged'. If interested, send me your email and I'll send you some pics of some of my past cars. Have a great day. Harold

Agreed. I really like the painted dash too.

I own a Tr-250, Agreed

Thank you

This is my 3rd (and final) TR4. It was built with everything I wanted including plenty of power AND no fluid leaks. It's as good as you could find anywhere. Only regret is that it cost a bunch to make it perfect! Thanks for the nice comments. H 🙂

It would come with a hefty price tag. 🙂

Thanks. Very true statement.

Thank you for the nice compliment. Speed with no fluid leaks. Rare and it was 2 1/2 years to get it right. The same person is building my 1970 GT6 to the same basic spec, different color. It will be really rare to have them both to such perfection. It will be a dream come true!

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks.

Thanks

Thank you for your comments. I appreciate them very much. The Surrey top that I have put the car has both a hardtop (which is installed) AND a canvas soft top that can be used in lieu of the hardtop and IT can be stored in the truck. 🙂

@@hlmheco Nice! Not many actually have the soft Surrey Top but they call their hardtop, a Surrey, which is incorrect. We used to go to a car show in Bowie, Maryland many years ago. Biggest British Car Show I have ever attended.

Technically (original Triumph spare parts manual), the "hard top kit" includes the "back light", a rigid metal roof and various minor bits to install them on the car. The "surrey top" is only the separately-sold, folding cloth roof panel that you can take with you, in case you get caught in a rain storm after leaving the rigid roof panel at home in the garage. (Incidentally, RevingtonTR in England makes a 2-piece rigid roof that fits in the boot and eliminates need for the surrey.) However, people have gotten into the habit of calling the hard top a "surrey top"... so it's really just a technicality. Besides, "surrey" sounds meat and is certainly better than "targa" (the Triumph top came 5 years before Porsche offered their targa.) The first 500 Triumph hard tops used an aluminum roof panel (I have one on my early TR4). Later used steel. Some aftermarket tops were made in fiberglass. The frame for all of them is aluminum. Protect the glass with your life! It is virtually irreplaceable! I am pretty sure the hard top (or surrey, if you prefer) was a dealer installed option... never installed at the factory. Incidentally, other dealer installed options included the door mirrors (probably not factory installed to prevent breakage during shipment). They offered wire wheels as an option, but never chromed. They were all painted silver ("argent"). During most of the TR4/4A/250/5 production, they were 60 spoke wheels. Earlier. TR2/3 and possibly some very early TR4 used 48 spoke wheels. Later TR6 went to 72 spoke wires, still painted. Of course, all this really only matters if trying to score points at a concourse d'elegance! 😂

Thanks.

@@hlmheco artisan workmanship, impressive to see every time.

Expensive dream come true.

Thank you

I plan to when I get time

I agree. Thanks for your comment.

Glad you enjoyed it

You are correct. I had a TR4A with a Ford 302 and it was a little too much motor, for me. This one is perfect!

Thanks!

It really is!

We agree!

Thanks. Not sure what you said. 🙃

Thanks. I agree! 🙂

Thanks for the nice comments. It's a work of art! Took 2 1/2 years to tear down and rebuild. The builder did a fantastic job and deserves the credit. He's now building a Triumph GT6 of equal quality for me.

It's OK. My '67 MGB Restomod has it on the right side. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qJmViLt0y9zaf3U.htmlsi=ulVT8iCviBm1t97S

Thank you! 😊

I agree. Thanks

Thanks

I've had 2 - MGB's with V8's. Both were Rover's but I changed the last one to a Ford 302. I also had a MGC with a Rover V8. I currently have a Blue '67 MGB that is totally redone. It's RH drive, has a GM Ecotech 2.0L 4 cyl engine that is supercharged and has been Dyno tested at 250 HP. It's fast an a blast to drive. It is very well done but is for sale as I have too many cars. There is a video of it on KZfaq. Getting older and need to slow down.

Thanks

Actually less weight than the original cast engine

I did not do the conversion. I bought it from the gentleman who did the conversion. I have owned 10-12 British conversions in the last 5-6 years. Many were Rover V-8's, a few had Ford 302's, and one had a 400 HP Chevy. It's very interesting to sample such a variety of conversions. Each has its own Pro's and Con's. The Rover V8 is an excellent conversion power plant as it fits well and it is lighter because of the aluminum block. Many of the others were too heavy and made handling an issue.

@@hlmheco - Many thanks for your reply.

The Triumph 6 cylinder engine... as used in TR250, TR5 and TR6... only bumps up the displacement to 2.5 liter (from 2L). The US carbureted version saw no increase in HP from the 4 cylinder, but improved torque a bit. The UK version of the 6 cylinder with petrol injection (PI) got a bump to about 150 HP (from around 105). But the early Lucas PI system is a bit fidgety and tricky to keep in top form. Besides, Triumph ended up using the Rover V8 in at least one car... the TR8. They also put it in several of their works rally TR7s. (MG used it in the MGC, too.) That was a 3.5L version. The Rover V8 is quite versatile... 4L, 4.2L and 4.6L are the most common. But it can be increased to 5L or even 5.2L, if wanted. There have been supercharged versions of it, too.

@@alanm.4298- Some interesting points there though, the MGC had a straight-six engine as standard, not a V8. Regards.

@@gregtaylor6146 You're right! It was the MGB GT that used the Rover 3.5L V8.

I've got some photos that I would share if you send me an email address. Not posting in TouTube, mainly because I don't know how!

Richard Good makes a kit to install the short-nose R200 in the TR IRS chassis - TR4, TR250 and TR6 as well as the Stag.

@mescko It's installed on my TR4A.

It's a relatively common modification for the IRS TRs. There are kits available.

@@hlmheco Much appreciated. Use her in good health.

Thanks for the correction. Hadn't even noticed (neither had anybody else 🙂)

Not really but if someone wanted it, I might consider selling for what I have invested. It's a large number!

Thanks!
