The Triumph TR4A IRS, commonly referred to as the TR4A, was introduced in 1965. It was a direct follow on from the TR4 Soft and Surrey Top models, with a few subtle interior trim updates. Production ran for almost three years during the years 1965, 1966 and 1967, totalling 28,465 deliveries worldwide.

John Skinner Ltd has produced awarding winning interior trim and upholstery kits for over four decades, including contributions to the Jabbeke MVC575 restoration, as well as the TS01 and TS02 cars – meaning that we have been involved in arguably three most important restorations of the TR era. In collaboration with Mark Macy of Macy’s Garage (USA) – we also provided the interior trim and upholstery for the perfect-100 score Triumph Register of America Concours award in 2018; the only car in the clubs’ history to attain this result.

Midnight Blue

Pale Shadow Blue

Cherry Red

Matador Red

Colour names refer to internal John Skinner Ltd colour names, not necessarily the names Triumph originally used for these colours.

A note on Piping/Beading

Triumph TR4A models originally featured White Piping on the majority of cars that left the factory production line, with a few recorded instances of Piping matching the main trim colour.

We can also offer the largest range of non-standard “bespoke” colours schemes for those looking for a more customised finish.
