I found
it on eBay, and it was local!
I purchased this car from a local person after finding it on eBay. What are
the chances! When I saw the car for the first time that October of 2004, I
was concerned about it’s completeness as it was disassembled in 1976
and stored in many, many boxes and crates. After finding most of the major
parts – 4 fenders, an engine block and the main sub-components, hood,
seats, etc – and seeing a very small rust hole in the rocker panel,
I bought it and proceeded to make 3 trips with my wife’s van to bring
it all home.
Time to Move On
I’ve come to realize over the years that while I truly enjoy DRIVING
my British cars, I enjoy restoring them even more. Something about marveling
at the way these cars were designed and put together makes me chuckle and
brightens my day. With that, it’s time I let someone else enjoy driving
this piece of automotive history and marvel at it’s quirkiness….
I am offering my 1967 Triumph TR4A for sale. Auction prices for this level
of quality resortation are hovering around $25,000 to $28,000. I would consider
offers over $21,000.

More Awards
The next summer, 2008, I brought my 4A to a local British meet (65 or so total
cars) and took home First Place in my class! I then returned to the Portland
All British Field Meet, and also took First Place in my class. Two Firsts
in one summer, not a bad run for the old TR!
I drove the car as much as possible over the summer and fall (the PERFECT
time for a British convertible!) and continued to tinker thru the winter.
