The TR4 started its international rally career on the 1962 Tulip Rally, where three of the now famous VC cars achieved 2nd, 3rd and 4th in class. For the Alpine, just a month later, these same cars were lightened and fitted with larger 2.2-litre engines, which had high lift camshafts and tubular manifolds, improving the cars power to weight ratio by around 22%. Three of the four cars finished, coming 1st, 2nd and 3rd in class.
The car modelled, 4 VC, won the under 2.5-litre class, finished 4th overall and won a coveted Coupe des Alpes .
4 VC has been owned since 1969 by enthusiast Ian Cornish, rebuilt by Revington TR in Somerset, UK along with the other remaining 2 works cars 3 VC and 6 VC. These cars are often seen at Triumph and other club events.
