Andy, do you have a feel for just how early this was? Based on nothing 
but the vaguest of recollections, I was thinking the earliest prototype 
or show cars didn't have the script but pretty much all the production 
cars did. Neither of my early TR4's are 'show cars' in any sense ;) but 
both have the 'TR4' script and the T R I U M P H letters.

And I can't check the originality books since I don't own any; I've 
always thought these books serve the "people married to Triumph people 
who need a car-related Christmas present" market, and my wife prefers to 
give me sweaters.
