1. TR4's vs 6's (score: 1)

I'm a long-time 6 owner who is presently looking at a 65 TR4. Needs work but not a total restore. Aside from the stylish Michelotti body, does anyone out there speak strongly for this model? Some cal

John, TR-4's are the best cars Triumph ever built. (Actually, I may be a bit biased as I've got one running, one not, and enough parts to build a few more.) Brian

No, not much difference mechanically- but that body makes quite a difference. The spare tire is in the trunk, not in a cubby. The hood (bonnet) is bigger, and lets you get at more of the engine. It's

John, IMHO a good running TR4 has the same or more power than most TR6's especially in the torque dept. I've owned several TR3's, TR4's and sixes and my favorite still is a live axle TR4. TR4 not 4A

John, all TR's are "transition models." The acceleration and speed of the TR4/4A'a DO "measure up." (0-60 in 10.5 sec for a TR4 is not anything to be dismissed - according to some reports the TR4A is

John, in my last answer to you I was comparing the TR4A to the TR6. My reason was that only 250 TR4's were built in '65. You said that the car was a '65. Check the Comm number on the car that you are

Ed, you are partially correct. CTC means IRS. TR4 comm numbers run from CT1 to CT40304 (NO CTC for TR4's). All TR4's were "live axle" since the frame is basically a widened TR3 frame. No TR4's were e

I was under the impression that all TR4A's rolled down the assembly line with both Live axle and IRS rear suspension packages bolted on at some stage of the buildup and not down different assembly l

Joe, Art, and List, Having pulled apart my 65 4A CTC 53**L (damn, no "O") for restoration, I can address this issue. There are many small diferences between a TR6 and TR4a frame, ost dealing with the

Joe, good point. Remember that the TR4A frame was DESIGNED FOR IRS. IRS could not be accomodated on the older TR2/3 or TR4 chassis and when Triumph decided to go to IRS they had to redesign the frame

Hi John, Up front, know that I am biased! However, I bought my 4 back before they were even slightly collectible. I like the simplicity of the 4. The solid rear axle gives a stiffer ride, but superb

<< snip >> The TR4A "bell and A" frame is also not as stiff as the earlier TR4 frame. The TR4A frame has more torsional flex which is why some racers prefer the earlier frame. Cheers. Art Kelly
