Francis,
Sorry, no TR4 pictures, but Bill Piggott's book "Original Triumph
TR4/4A/5/6" has quite a few pictures of a Valencia blue TR250.  They're in
the updated, 1998, edition of the book.  He notes that it was
"...principally a TR5/250 colour, was used only a few late TR4As, probably
only in the last three months".

With the greatest respect to Bill Piggot, his statement is far from true. 
Valencia Blue
was available and used across the whole Triumph range. It was not restricted 
just to
sports cars. Production cutover to TR was certainly late in the TR4A life.
