In 1953 a higher performance version was announced with the 1991 cc, 90 bhp straight-four engine as used in the Triumph TR2. Beginning in very late 1953, the radiator grille was now surrounded by a cowl that blended into the bonnet; initial cars received an interim version which only curved backwards at the top, followed by a transition version using the final cowled design which also curves backwards at the sides coupled with lower-mounted headlamps. The final design, with higher mounted headlight pods and the badge above the grille appeared sometime in 1954; flat radiator cars were frequently returned to the factory to have the front updated, along with various technical upgrades. Front disc brakes became an option in 1959 and were standardised in 1960. From 1956 the 1991 cc 100 bhp of the new Triumph TR3 was used. From 1962 the Triumph TR4 unit, which increased displacement to 2138 cc was fitted The bonnet of the Triumph-engined Plus 4 fitted so closely to the engine that there was no room for an air filter.
