Something Special to Me Turned 60

The 1964 TR4 Triumph at Tanner Ranch, Honey Lake Valley Valley, 2004.

It was on December 14, 1964 when this 1964 Triumph TR4 rolled off the assembly line in Coventry, England. It would eventually be shipped to a car dealer in San Francisco. It remain unsold until 1966, when it was sold to Susanville resident Frank White.

When Frank allowed me to drive it for the first time, I became enamored with that little hunk of metal. While I waited very patiently for Frank to sell it to me, he did graciously allow me to drive it around from time to time. Here is a little fun fact that some might not be aware, but the Triumph is the only car I have ever owned!

  1. Well Tim it could be said that British Roadsters are contagious. I felt the same way about the 1967 TR4A I acquired in 1969 and I feel the same way about my 1964 MGB which I still drive around Susanville these days. The next time I see you around town I’ll know a little more about your TR. Jim
