Restored Triumph TR4 convertible police car. a Triumph TR4 convertible, that began service with the Southend-on-Sea County Borough Constabulary as a new car in 1962, went auction in the UK in 2013. Sporting registration plate 4100 HJ, the vehicle is a rare and exceptional example, having been restored to its original police specification by the owner who bought it in 1991. The original car, which could reach a top speed in excess of 160kmh, was supplied with a specification including Pye radio, Winkworth bell, air horns, windscreen mounted hand operated lamp, front and rear police signs and a rear stop sign. So detailed was the recent restoration, that where special equipment was missing, items were sourced with the assistance of members of Police Car UK.
