I have installed one in Chris’ TR6 and am just finishing up the install in my TR4. The unit operates great and the limiting factor is likely the speakers. I got the black knobs with silver bezels and the look matches the original radio that came in my 1962 TR4. On the 6, i trimmed the Triumph bezel and it looked fine. After many install/remove sessions to get  the distance just right, I forgot to include the faceplate bezel on the final fit. I did not feel like taking it out again at this point and the look without the bezel is OK too.

Original TR4 radio


RetroSound radio


Because the TR4 originally had a single speaker under the dash in the passenger footwell, I installed a RetroSound Dual Voice Coil speaker in the speaker enclosure


and restored the speaker box and enclosure.


I also took the opportunity to add an Advanced AutoWire auxiliary fuse/relay panel to power the radio.
