Le Molte Vite Della TR4, Seconda Parte: TR5, TR250 E TR6
TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it Le molte vite della TR4, seconda parte: TR5, TR250 e TR6 Di Aaron Severson Con il debutto della TR4A nel 1965, la Triumph aveva finalmente una sportiva con moderne sospensioni indipendenti che si sposavano bene con il frizzante stile italiano, ma presto venne deciso che la TR aveva bisogno di più potenza, oltre che di un vestito nuovo. Il risultato furono due auto familiari nell’aspetto ma con motori completamente nuovi, seguite dopo meno di due anni da un modello dall’aspetto nuovo con caratteristiche tecniche déjà vu. In questa seconda parte della storia della TR4, tratteremo delle Triumph TR5 PI, TR250 e TR6 prodotte tra il 1968 e il 1976. Foto dell’autore. WASP: SEI NELLA TR4 Nella prima parte di questo articolo abbiamo raccontato le origini e lo sviluppo della Triumph TR4, lanciata nella primavera del 1961 per rimpiazzare la TR3. Nata come un amalgama di diversi studi di stile elaborate da Giovanni Michelotti, la TR4 era essenzialmente una nuova carrozzeria su un telaio TR3 rimaneggiato, modificato con l’introduzione di una carreggiata più larga, uno sterzo a Le molte vite della TR4, seconda parte: TR5, TR250 e TR6 1 TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it cremagliera e l’adozione come motorizzazione standard del 4 cilindri a valvole in testa da 2.138 cc a camicie umide (“wet-sleeve”) che era opzionale nella TR3. La linea della TR4 e la sua maggiore raffinatezza trovarono una buona accoglienza, ma con parecchi malumori per la guida faticosa e la tenuta di strada incerta sullo sconnesso. -
Production Data 83
Production Data 83 Production Dates & Commission Numbers When ordering parts, it is essential that you identify your car exactly, by model year and serial number. Since many part changes were made during model years, the commission number, engine number and body number provide the only positive identification. Quite often a car’s title will not show the correct model year. Before ordering parts, please record the applicable numbers from your car. Using these numbers is the best way to ensure that you order and receive the correct parts. Wherever possible, we have listed part applications by commission number (e), body number (b) or gearbox (g). For more in formation on these numbers and years, see the production data below.

Triumph in Italy
TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it Le molte vite della TR4, prima parte: TR4 e TR4A Di Aaron Severson Se cambi la carrozzeria di un’auto, poi dopo qualche anno cambi il telaio, dopo qualche altro anno sostituisci il motore e infine rinnovi ancora la carrozzeria, puoi dire che è rimasta sempre la stessa macchina? Questa è la domanda che si pone per la Triumph TR4 e le sue immediate eredi. Introdotta nel 1961 per rimpiazzare la TR3, la sportiva di successo della Standard-Triumph, la TR4, disegnata da Michelotti, era meno nuova di quanto il suo aspetto suggerisse; fu solo dopo altri otto anni e tre cambi di nome che divenne a tutti gli effetti una novità. In questa prima puntata, iniziamo ad esaminare la curiosa evoluzione della gamma TR, cominciando con le Triumph TR4 e TR4A degli anni 1961-1967. (Foto dell'autore) Le molte vite della TR4, prima parte: TR4 e TR4A 1 TRIUMPH IN ITALY www.TriumphInItaly.it LE TRIUMPH TR2 E TR3 La nascita della prima sportiva del dopoguerra della Triumph Motor Co. è una saga complicata che merita di essere esplorata più approfonditamente; limitiamoci qui a dire che, dopo parecchie false partenze, la Triumph TR2 fece il suo debutto al Salone di Ginevra nel Marzo 1953 e fu commercializzata più tardi nello stesso anno. Progettata con un budget molto risicato per i macchinari, la TR2 era una piccola auto goffa con telaio e freni non adeguatamente sviluppati, ma vantava un motore di 1.991 cc a 4 cilindri con albero a camme in testa (OHV) con una buona coppia, una versione con alesaggio ridotto del motore a canne umide di 2.088 cc adottato nella berlina Standard Vanguard e in alcuni trattori Ferguson (che la Ferguson, società madre della Triumph, produceva dal 1946). -

The Oily Rag the Newsletter of the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary
May/June 2020 the Oily Rag The Newsletter of the Vintage Sports Car Club of Calgary THIS TOO SHALL PASS! 1 Editor’s Comments Like the rest of you, I have been stuck in my house for the last several weeks broken only by the occasional visit out to the garage when the weather is warm enough that my tools don’t freeze to the touch. Fortunately the monotony of the days was broken by the birthday of my Jaguar which turned 49 years old on April 29! According to The Jaguar Heritage Trust, the car was dispatched to New York City on June 2, 1971. It still wears Signal Red paint, chrome wire wheels, and the seats are clad in Connolly black leather. The paint has been refreshed and the headrests re-stuffed but over all it wears its years better than its owner! Despite its six month sleep, it started on all 12 cylinders after 15 seconds of cranking which allowed the fuel to reach the carbs. Once warmed, it idled smoothly and insisted on a drive down the highway to stretch its legs. The view over the hood did not disappoint and I was pleased to find that the adjustment I had made to the kick-down switch worked perfectly and a prod on the gas peddle shot the RPM from 2200 to 3500 with a satisfying push and a muted snarl as it downshifted. As I drove down the residential street towards my home, I was rewarded by a teenage boy hollering “Cool car!” as I passed. -
