Dr. Richburg --

The point is -- that lame attempts to "market" what is probably a 
perfectly nice TR4, to people who love Triumphs anyway -- make it 
look suspect in the eyes of the very people who might buy it.

So my history book sez the final TR4 was built on Jan 6, 1965 and 
had the commission number CT40304. With 250 made in calender year 
1965, that would make the first "1965" TR4 CT40054. Yes -- they 
should be in sequence and there are no gaps reported in this 
period...

Now the question at hand is does the commission number of this 
car fall in this sequence CT40054 - CT40304? If not it is merely a 
1964 (or earlier) that wasn't bought and titled until 1965.

So what's that Comm. # doc? 

It's pretty academic considering there should be no difference 
between a car produced on Dec. 31 (say CT40053) and Jan. 2....
