Well, it took a while to do the Sherlock Holmes thing, but I think I have an
answer to
this inquiry.
I grew up in the Los Angeles area (Pacific Palisades) and one of my old
friends and
schoolmates since the early 1950's is Mr. Lewis' niece. I emailed her and
asked about
this car. She asked a "very close family member" (trust me) who said Jerry
"never owned
any English cars and he preferred American made autos".
I hope this helps....sorry it wasn't what this fellow wanted to hear, but I
believe it's from a very reliable
"inside family" source.

Hello from Belgium,
I'm the proud owner of a lhd TR4, reimported from the states around 1990. I
had bought this fine car in May from the UK.
The owner told me, that this car had belonged to Jerry Lewis in the states.
I want to ask you to do me a favour: Is it possible for you to get some
informations of the first keeper?
VIN/Chassis/Frame No is CT15605L, Engine No is CT17902.
Best regards
Daniel Chao
