Andy, do you have a feel for just how early this was?
==AM==
Not exactly. But in Piggott's _Triumph; the sporting cars_, he noted in a
picture caption on p.64 that "As was usual on the very early TR4s, no rear
badge
saying 'TR4' was fitted -- this only appeared after the first couple of
thousand cars had been built." Oh, and plate AT in my original (US version)
First
Edition _Triumph 20 TR4 Sports Car Spare Parts Catalogue_ does not show a
badge.
