They say there’s no cheap way to go racing, but the car featured here, located in McDonough, Georgia, comes pretty close. Introduced in 1961, the TR4 was a worthy bearer of the Triumph name, sporting an improved version of the Ferguson tractor-derived engine on previous TRs and a more modern body styled by Michelotti that still looks handsome from any angle. Like other TRs and like so many of its peers in the small British sports car realm, the TR4 was equally at home on the race track as it was on the roads. TR4s scored class wins in international competition at Sebring and won the SCCA’s D and E-Production championships. E-Production TR4s were competitive in the SCCA long after production of the car stopped, racking up wins in the 1980s and 1990s in the process.
This particular TR4 is a nicely presented car with a lot of appeal for the aspiring vintage racer. It has no reported race history, and is advertised as a “Vintage Race Car Replica w/ Modifications for Weekend Track Days”, but, judging from the pictures, it would not take a lot to make this a full-on track car. With the cost of even more modest vintage racing cars getting on the high side, this clean old Triumph offers up a lot of fun and a lot of character for a fair asking price. Check out the 1967 Triumph TR4 here on eBay, where the “Buy It Now” price is set at $13,500.
