Hi George! Good to hear from you.
I do have my orig data plate (no paint on it left, which I keep with my MD 
title, but I replaced my plate 11yrs ago during restoration with your 'catalog 
pic plate' (lbs).  As per my orig data plate notes and familarity I know it was 
lbs not kilos. 
 As I used a punch set, I 'updated  my 'paint code' to be reflective of what I 
did with the restoration.
If you can't deciiper, my COMM# is CT40054L.  What is yours? 

I was the first owner of the TR. I bought it in Dec 68 upon return from SEAsia. 
It was the OKC dealer salesman's 'demo' and don't think it even arrived at the 
dealership until spring 66.  See this link:

1st licensed by me in '68 before that on dealer tags!
Check out the TRworrkshop links, now 11 yrs home for the TR4.  Sherman

Hey Sheman --

Since you have such a late TR4 perhaps you could tell me whether your
commission plate looks like the first attachment or the second?

The difference is 'KILOS' vs 'LBS'.

Documentation is inconsistent -- Piggott says the change came with the
TR4A but my late TR4 has Kilos.  Just curious what yours, being so
close to the change point) would have.  Many Thanks!
