INFORMATION

 

New into The Forge Prees is this delightful 1965 Triumph TR4A IRS that is been in ownership by the last vendor for a considerable 36 years.

 

FLE 710C was first registered in July 1965 after being dispatched to Triumph dealers, Halls of Finchley in London.  
This TR4A IRS was originally presented very much as it is now, finished in signal red, black interior, 60 spoke wire wheels, overdrive along with a factory fitted heater. All confirmed on the heritage certificate included in the cars history file along with some photographs taken of the restoration (1988 to 1990).

 

FLE 710C has had relatively few owners over its lifetime, and in 1988 it was purchased by its last owner who went on to carryout a substantial restoration to pretty much the form that you see today.

 

The work was carried out in 1988 at approximately 43,000 miles and is recorded on file with invoices and photographs.

It shows the engine out and almost every panel being removed, repaired, and recommissioned or rebuilt.

The chassis was repaired where necessary, the interior was restored (still nice), and it was of course repainted (still presents very well with a few minor paint blemishes) with a new hood fitted too (still in good condition) . There are numerous bills on file detailing the extensive rebuild carried out.

 

Since 1998, FLE 710C  has been part of a private collection and has been maintained ‘in house’ so although there are no recent invoices, it does look like it has been well loved and cared for.

 

During the last month FLE 710C has been prepped for sale by Classic Car specilaists Creed and Shore Motorworks, Shropshire (See below for confirmation of the prepartion works carried out).

​

FLE 710C presents and drives nicely, but still provides the opportunity for the new owner to onward develop to make this a stunning 1965 example.

​

FLE 710C comes with a great history file that includes a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, V5C, mot certificates, many receipts, photographs of restoration and the factory orginal Triumph TR4A Drivers Handbook.

​

This Classic Motor vehicle is UK Road Tax, MOT and ULEZ exempt.
