Only selling due to a house move and renovation uncovering botched building and plumbing work by the previous occupier of this house. I’m selling a rather special Triumph TR4 to add to the funds to get this blasted house finished.
Some photos credit to and courtesy of 4 star classics - I purchased the car from them. One of only two in this colour and specification!
