I think I can answer some of these... Art may have to fill in the
blanks.

We need Art on this one, but as I recall, the IRS was an exception,
rather than the rule in the US

Actually, the 4A chassis is quite different from the 4. The both the
live axle and the IRS system were fitted interchangably to the 4A
chassis. The 4A setup for the live axle is NOTHING like the '4 (which
actually is exactly like the '3 with the exception of the wider track on
the '4). The live ax;e was shipped stateside because the dealers didn't
think the IRS would sell. (For much the same reason there was a 3B here
and nowhere else... dealer nervousness).
> 3. How many of the 1961 TR4s were vactually titled as 1962s?
Lots I suspect. I have a friend in the hartfor area who owns a titled
1962 TR4 and a 1963 TR3B... go figure.

No.
