Triumph TR4 1961 TR4A

What is your favourite classic car?

The TR4, when it was introduced in 1961 broke new ground for Triumph. Whereas the TR2 / TR3 / TR3A range had been strictly conventional in body layout, the Mitchelotti-styled TR4 was much more masculine in appearance with slab sides and a squared-off tail. It broke the traditional sports car ethos and heralded the arrival of the 1960's generation. Wind-up windows and face-level ventilation made it better equipped than previous TRs and it was the first car to have a removable-roof type hard top, later credited to Porsche in its Targa form on the 911s. The TR4 used a four-in-line unit of 2138cc (130cu.in.) water cooled and consisting of a cast iron block and cylinder head. Acceleration from 0-60mph took 9.8 seconds with a maximum speed of 104mph (167km/h).
