Hi again, Dave, and other Listers. I just thought I'd do a little disclaimer
and give a fair due to the real webmaster of the TR2-4 owner's web page -
Barry Shefner. I think it is a great site for early TR owners to congregate,
similar to our newly-born Listers home page (which reminds me - I have to do
my pic & bio some time soon). For any TR2-4(A) Listers interested, see
Barry's site at:

It seems your car has a checkered past. Wow - Malta! Cheers, JD

Subject: "5" prefix on a TR4a in Canada
Hi all.
I enquired about the subject and have received several replies.
Thanks to
all.
First off, I have now learned to use the listquet archives - and
they are
much different from my last visit. Very much worth using for obtuse
questions like mine.
Second, this may be a "Canadian" thing. John Day (and his
website)
suggest that this may have been done by the port authority to
confirm the
year of import - in my case the "5" being 1965. That said, I have
not seen
any others marked as such, and my GT6 certainly is not - nor are any
of the
TR3's I know of.
Finally, in absence of other information (and I suspect I'll need
to break
down and gab a BMHIT certificate), my car was built in Malta
(Thanks Joe C,
I also found your list post on the archive). Just where the @#$@#
is
Malta?!? (I know, sort of). Was there a military establishment
there?
Might my car have been a personal import? Anybody?!?
