Triumph TR4, a discreet charm

Some years ago, while Nicola Marras was having some rest in an Hospital bed due to a sport incident, his wife Patrizia was enjoying driving his TR4 on the Marche hills.

In 1981 Pat Bedard, a popular US driver and journalist, wrote this article after the last Triumph sport car produced and talked about what "sport car" meant in its golden age (150s-1970s). His thoughts may explain the reason we're still fascinated by these cars.
