In all my 64 years, I don't think I've seen a prettier TR4. That color is drop dead gorgeous. My compliments to the restorer of this car. But I have to say, that is not a Surrey Top. What you have is a removable hardtop and back glass. Because the hardtop, once removed, will not fit in the trunk, Triumph offered an optional Surrey Top that was a soft, collapsible center section. Named so after the early horse and buggy's that had a soft canvas top. You really don't see many Surrey Tops. I love the idea of painting the metal dashboard the same color as the car. The vents in the fenders remind me of the TR4 Competition cars that ran at Sebring. Love that look. Not only do you have a show stopper, but a reliable vehicle you could drive anywhere. Nicely done!

Technically (original Triumph spare parts manual), the "hard top kit" includes the "back light", a rigid metal roof and various minor bits to install them on the car. The "surrey top" is only the separately-sold, folding cloth roof panel that you can take with you, in case you get caught in a rain storm after leaving the rigid roof panel at home in the garage. (Incidentally, RevingtonTR in England makes a 2-piece rigid roof that fits in the boot and eliminates need for the surrey.) However, people have gotten into the habit of calling the hard top a "surrey top"... so it's really just a technicality. Besides, "surrey" sounds meat and is certainly better than "targa" (the Triumph top came 5 years before Porsche offered their targa.) The first 500 Triumph hard tops used an aluminum roof panel (I have one on my early TR4). Later used steel. Some aftermarket tops were made in fiberglass. The frame for all of them is aluminum. Protect the glass with your life! It is virtually irreplaceable! I am pretty sure the hard top (or surrey, if you prefer) was a dealer installed option... never installed at the factory. Incidentally, other dealer installed options included the door mirrors (probably not factory installed to prevent breakage during shipment). They offered wire wheels as an option, but never chromed. They were all painted silver ("argent"). During most of the TR4/4A/250/5 production, they were 60 spoke wheels. Earlier. TR2/3 and possibly some very early TR4 used 48 spoke wheels. Later TR6 went to 72 spoke wires, still painted. Of course, all this really only matters if trying to score points at a concourse d'elegance! 😂

I inherited a 67 tr4a.....this is quite an inspiration. Beautiful car.

Beautiful car, thanks for sharing! The only thing I'd have done differently is to keep the wood dash.

Well done sir!

Very nice! A neat thing about the all aluminum Rover V8 engine is that it weighs almost exactly the same as the original, cast iron 4 cylinder in the TR4A... so you get double the horsepower with minimal added weight and don't upset the balance of the car. I would be a little worried about omitting the cross brace between the front spring/shock towers. But I tend to drive my TR4 in a rather "sporty" manner.

Fabulous build, something that I would drive. I had a 1980 MGB that was restored with a 4.0 Rover V8 that had MG valve covers, T5 trans, but stock rearend. Wilwood brakes on the front, 4-wheel discs all around, fenderwell headers, Miata seats, they did a retro look with chrome bumpers with no overriders, no side reflectors on the body, etc. Achilles heel on that car was the cooling system, which still used those two little OEM yellow fans. I had a 13" mechanical puller fan installed, and a 10" electric pusher fan as well, and this was with a thicker aluminum radiator. That solved the overheating issue right quick. Drove great in a straight line, but wasn't too happy being pushed into corners and such. Started having an electrical issue starting, couldn't figure it out so I sold the car on consignment. Turned out a wire was shorting on some bracket inside the engine compartment, I never would've found that. I have a 1981 Lancia Zagato with the 2.0 fuel-injected twin-cam four. I can't help but think how much more fun it would be with an Alfa 2.5 or 3.0 V6!

I did not do the conversion. I bought it from the gentleman who did the conversion. I have owned 10-12 British conversions in the last 5-6 years. Many were Rover V-8's, a few had Ford 302's, and one had a 400 HP Chevy. It's very interesting to sample such a variety of conversions. Each has its own Pro's and Con's. The Rover V8 is an excellent conversion power plant as it fits well and it is lighter because of the aluminum block. Many of the others were too heavy and made handling an issue.

The Triumph 6 cylinder engine... as used in TR250, TR5 and TR6... only bumps up the displacement to 2.5 liter (from 2L). The US carbureted version saw no increase in HP from the 4 cylinder, but improved torque a bit. The UK version of the 6 cylinder with petrol injection (PI) got a bump to about 150 HP (from around 105). But the early Lucas PI system is a bit fidgety and tricky to keep in top form. Besides, Triumph ended up using the Rover V8 in at least one car... the TR8. They also put it in several of their works rally TR7s. (MG used it in the MGC, too.) That was a 3.5L version. The Rover V8 is quite versatile... 4L, 4.2L and 4.6L are the most common. But it can be increased to 5L or even 5.2L, if wanted. There have been supercharged versions of it, too.
