Peter, by now you have certainly gotten some answers. But I will fire-in my
remarks as well.
The 4A started in 65 with CTC 50000
The body numbers were fairly well correlated with the commission # (CT....), so
your BODY is from a mid-run
TR4.
The DIff should have some other number beginning with CT or BT
Check the number on the tranny.
The engine # of over CT50000 IS from a 4A, but probably predates the resumption
of SU carbs.
Does the car have the chrome dodads on the front fenders to make it a 4A (all
did), does it have IRS? (most did)?
It looks like this is a car which should rightfully be called a "parts car" in
that it was assembled from the best
parts available at the time of a major restoration. Probably the engine and
transmission are the original
parts.
I'd expect a commission number listed on the title to be in the vicinity of CTC
58000
