The seller offers for sale this 1968 Triumph TR4A, powered by a 2.1-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission with overdrive. According to the seller, the car is fully original, with the addition of an overdrive unit, a desirable upgrade that makes relaxed touring at higher speeds considerably more comfortable. The car holds a valid inspection and is presented as a driving classic that may benefit from some cosmetic attention, offering an honest starting point for an enthusiast who wants a usable British sports car with room to improve it to their own taste.

The TR4A, introduced in 1965 as the successor to the TR4, marked an important step forward for Triumph’s popular sports car line. Italian-influenced styling penned by Giovanni Michelotti, with its distinctive full-width grille, hooded headlamps and practical wind-up windows. The four-cylinder engine in the TR4A offers a compelling blend of rugged simplicity and genuine sporting ability.

Today the TR4A occupies a sweet spot in the classic British roadster market: more refined than the earlier sidescreen TRs, more affordable than the six-cylinder TR5, and supported by outstanding parts availability and an active worldwide club scene. Its straightforward mechanicals make it an approachable classic to maintain and enjoy, whether on club runs, touring events or simply weekend drives with the roof down. An original example with overdrive, such as this one, represents an appealing proposition for the collector and driver alike.
