The car we are offering for sale perfectly embodies Triumph's sporting tradition and the spirit of great historic competitions. It is a TR4 FIA prepared for racing and followed throughout its career by some of the best French specialists in the discipline.
After a first run in historic competition, it joined the ranks of the well-known Eleven Cars structure, which successfully entered it in several events organised by Peter Auto, notably in Sixties' Endurance.
After several seasons competing at the highest level, including the Tour Auto, Le Mans Classic and various renowned European events, it entered the collection of its current owner. He will enter it four times in the Tour Auto (2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023) in the hotly contested VHC GTS11 (Pre-66) category.
Regularly ranked among the best in Plateau 3, this TR4 has forged a solid reputation thanks to its well-balanced chassis, the reliability of its preparation and the generous torque of its engine.
To keep the car as competitive as possible, its owner entrusted its maintenance to Garage de la Choletterie, a recognised specialist in historic cars. In 2022, the engine underwent a complete rebuild, incorporating an Arrow crankshaft, forged connecting rods and racing pistons. The dyno test carried out after this preparation revealed a remarkable 184.4 bhp at 6,165 rpm, a particularly impressive figure for a TR4 FIA.
The car was then taken to WG Racing in Toulouse for a complete overhaul of the gearbox in 2025. Numerous interventions were also carried out on the running gear, shock absorbers, braking system and electrical system, the latter having been completely redesigned to improve the car's overall reliability during long endurance races. All of this work is fully documented.
Presented with a large file of invoices representing more than €74,000 worth of work and maintenance, this TR4 FIA benefits from exceptional follow-up. Its Historic Technical Passport is valid until 2031, guaranteeing it access to the most prestigious European historic competitions. Rare on the market, high-performance, reliable and immediately operational, it represents a first-rate opportunity for any enthusiast wishing to take part in the greatest historic events in a car that is both competitive and perfectly prepared.
