FactSome TR4s left Coventry for final assembly by Ducati in Bologna.
The successor to the TR3A, built from 18 July 1961 to 6 January 1965 at Canley, Coventry (and assembled in Mechelen, Belgium and by Ducati in Bologna), with a new Giovanni Michelotti body on chassis and drivetrain closely related to its predecessor. Planning began as early as 1956, while Triumph lacked capital and had sold its tractor division to Massey-Harris. Its 2,138 cc wet-liner four made 100 bhp at 4,600 rpm and 127 lb⋅ft at 3,350 rpm, with two Stromberg 175CD or SU H6 carburettors and a 4-speed with optional overdrive. About 953 licensed and 216 SORN TR4s were on the DVLA register in Q2 2022. Succeeded by the TR4A.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
