It's almost exactly like the Triumph radio & speaker that came new in my 
GT6.

The speaker was mounted in the passenger's footwell.
Mounting will be different for a TR4, but in the GT6 it was bolted in that 
square flat area on the right side of the footwell, aligned vertically, & 
pointed out toward the interior.

I think I've lost the speaker, wish I'd kept track of it.
The Triumph radio is in a box somewhere, it was replaced by an ultra-cool 
70s Pioneer AM/FM/Cassette, then by a blank plate.

I think I'd put the funky 70's Pioneer back in for period grins, but 
somebody might *still* steal a 25 year old radio.

Assuming it is of interest, this is how the radio from the 'Maui TR4' looks:

Presumably original though perhaps dealer installed.  ISTR reading somewhere
that  instead of the "Triumph-Triumph" the home
market versions were "Standard-Triumph".

This is the speaker:

Can someone tell me where this speaker might have been mounted?  The car 
came
with the speaker/bracket just held under the
dash with baling wire.  As both the speaker and radio are Bendix it seems 
likely
it too is original.

Thanks.
