I don't think that change occured with the steel dash TR4s.
However, I'm sure someone on the list will probably be able to tell
you which model came with the black fairing. Finding an "original"
chrome plated diamond pattern fairing in perfect condition may be
one of the rarest things you could look for on a TR4. I personally
think they were made from unobtainium...
I had to replace mine with an engine turned piece of aluminum I had
made up... The previous owner must have given mine to his dog
for "chew toy" who then left it on a gravel driveway before it was
reinstalled on the car.

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
