1966 Triumph TR4A IRS
My buddy Alex snapped this 1966 Triumph TR4A at the recent Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance.
This TR4 was purchased new in Daytona Beach Florida by De. Carl E. Schwenker and was then prepared for the 1967 Daytona 24-Hour Continental and received FIA homologation for Group GT3-GT.
During the event the drivers Ara Dube and Dana Kelder finished 1st in the over 2-litre GT class.
Ther current owners, Fred and Jody Schmidt, recently restored this TR4 to its original racing specification.

An unplanned meeting of three red TRAs at the shop!
Today we delivered a new engine-bay restoration which will be at the 9th Annual Restoration Fair & Swap Meet held by the OECC tomorrow.
This particular job took 100 hours, which included a strip to bare metal, etching, epoxy primer, careful seam-sealing and a polyurethane top-coat.
Everything was taken out and refurbished back into the bay. This included rebuilding the wiper motor, pedal box, ignition wires and master cylinders as well as looking over the carburetors and distributors.
Original bolts were cadmium plated as well as the fuel lines and brake lines. To help with long-distance touring we used new Zebra hose clamps where required. Almost all the speciality items such as the new battery leads, engine breather cap and all rubber came from the Roadster factory.
Finally we can present the entire Pimento Red TR6 painted in Dupont’s Imron Polyurethane Enamel that has a completely durable and classic look.
Featured are Vredestein’s popular Sprint Classic tires, Wheels powder coated by Professional Components Ltd, correct lenses from The Roadster Factory, an Everflex Softtop by Robbins, bumpers by Victoria Plating Ltd and a windsheild + install by Capital Glass just down the road.
Just got the Pimento Red TR6 out of storage for the final few pieces.
At the owner’s request we are assembling a book with every detail of the car.
Attached are some snaps under the hood from earlier today. Many of the new bits, well almost all of them, came from the roadster factory including the oem-style bottles, battery leads and ignition wires.
