Ken,
My 64 spitfire was originally a CKD car that came from Belgium. It has
the commission # plate and the chassis plate on it. That doesn't
necessarily mean the TR4s would have had both however!
And now you didn't mispell my name!
Hi Ken,Brad,
I expect to meet end of the month some people driving CKD TR4's
assembled in Belgium. I will try to gather some information on
serial nrs and prefixes of this specific cars. I will let you know as
ASAP.

70 TR6 PI also CKD
