Codenamed 'Zest', the TR4 was introduced in 1961. Though based on the chassis and drivetrain of its much-loved TR3A predecessor, the newcomer cut a far more modern dash thanks to its all-new Michelotti-styled body. Power was provided by Triumph's proven 2138cc OHV four-cylinder engine while mechanical updates included a wider track front and rear, rack and pinion steering and all-synchromesh gearbox. The optional overdrive now operated on second and third gears as well as top. The final iteration of the TR4 was the TR4A, introduced in 1965. This embodied a number of small styling changes and upgrades to the specification but, more pertinently, some 75 percent of TR4As were equipped with independent rear suspension (IRS).
