Description
I am the 4th owner of this car which was originally supplied and dispatched as a 'Home' market car to Evans & Cutler Ltd, Plymouth in April 1967, and it retains its original Devon issued number of JUO999E. There's a large history file which focuses entirely on its restoration into the car you see today, essentially from 2004-06 and then further engine upgrades in 2013 and 2022. The following is a brief summary:
Chassis was shot blasted, repaired & strengthened, all sections zinc and epoxy sprayed and then treated with wax-oil to all chassis sections inside & out. New inner wings & sills fitted, valences, doors and much more.
Total refitting of all the interior components followed plus upgrades to brakes, cooling, electrical (new wiring loom).
Lots of work undertaken on suspension, TR6 front anti roll bar, poly bushed, Gaz adjustable shocks.
Engine wise, it is built to a TriumphTune stage 3 specification with an unleaded head, notable items include: new pistons / liners / new bearings & tuftrided drilled followers / Revington Sprint camshaft / TriumphTune inlet manifolds / Weber 45 DCOE carburettors fed by facet pump.
Finally the transmission / overdrive was overhauled not forgetting stainless race manifold & stainless steel exhaust.
The Midnight blue paint work is in excellent condition as is the interior. The dark blue soft top is in good condition, and with a functioning heating system keeps you warm in the winter. It has a range of original TR4A parts with logo such as gearknob, steering wheel, valve caps.
I just had the car MOT'd till May 2025 even though it is exempt from MOT. I bought the car in 2021 and I have enjoyed it immensely. It is obviously best on country lanes but purrs happily at 70 in overdrive on the motorway.
I know little about cars and had it looked after by TVR101 in Dockensfield, nr Farnham in Hampshire. It is a delight to drive and looks fabulous on the road.... instant owner gratification! I am only selling it because ultimately I am not as much as a car enthusiast and will use the proceeds for other hobbies.
