Triumph TR4 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1961–1965) — First Generation
The first-generation Triumph TR4 combines classic British roadster character with straightforward engineering. It appeals if you enjoy open-air motoring and a hands-on driving experience, with fewer comforts than a modern sports car.
In the 2.1 MT Roadster, the Triumph TR4 engine is a four-cylinder gasoline unit paired with a manual transmission. Choosing the gears yourself contributes to the direct, mechanical feel, while the rear-wheel-drive layout sends engine power to the rear wheels and leaves the fronts to steer.
