    In my opinion one of the best looking cars ever and so wonderfully restored, a work of art. Thumbs up, congratulations Bob.

    Citizens of the world: This is the greatest TR-4 on earth. Lou says, "In my opinion, your perfect TR-4..."
    I had a chance to see this car up close and talk to the guy who owns it-he's legit (he did most of the resto work himself.
    TR-4s are so cool...but this one is...the coolest.

    As a former TR3 owner, up till 1973 (then parts were no problem), I via CZcams at times go down memory lane. This time a second reason. For someone living in the Netherlands, doubt there will be many from Holland who walked the streets in Geneva. I was there twice, once 2005 and 2006. I stayed in St Charles. I wanted to rent a car there, but the only use credit cards, not cash hahaha. Instead I rented a bicycle, near Duck Pond. Riding a bike in the US on normal roads, id bloody dangerous.

    Nice TR4 Bob. I had a chance to buy a nice used one in 1969 for $1,000.00 but my Dad refused my loan request. I now have and have had many MGs in the past but never a Triumph. If cryptocurrency does well I will have a TR4 yet, also another MGTF, a Morgan and a new garage to keep them in. I always liked the looks of a TR4. Now that time has gone by I prefer the Triumph cars with wire wheels but without aftermarket accessories. I also love a TR3 with wire wheels. Happy motoring Bob!

    Superb condition, a real credit to the owner. I've had a TR4 for 30 years and it's approaching the final stages of a resto. In all that time I didn't realise black was a paint option and I've never seen a black one on the road. Really suits the car, was it originally black? Will probably stick with Signal Red but you've made me think twice!

    I had a red 1966 TR4 with wire wheels, it was allot of
    fun but hard to find parts for it and were very expensive.
    In hindsight, I should of dropped a Mustang V-8 with trans
    into it and painted it silver with dark blue interior.
    Now that would of turned a few heads and parts would of
    been cheap and the engine would be a perfect match. If I
    had done so I still might have the car.
