Jack,
There is a movie called triumph at sebring, its sold in the UK by some
company if you google for the title
i have seen it once years back, and it had all three white TR4 cars being
worked on in the video, they showed preparation, where things were placed
etc, including the racing bendix pumps and other items. including
endurance lights.
if your car is one, then that video would help a great deal.
the bmiht certificate should show it going the right dealer they
mentioned as well as remember, it was kastners dealership.
they were all white, and i think they had overdrive?
good luck if you dont find it easily will go try to find it, it had
morgan super sports racing as well and is well with the watch.
