I have a 62 in the garage just out of the paint shop and ready to put back
together. It is just like the old Monogram model kits, but the adult
version!

Tim,
I would speculate that maybe 10% to 20% of the original production.
The 4 did not do well up here in the northeast with all the salt/sand used
during winter. On top of that, accidents took quite a few I would guess.
I have had my 63 on the road 4 seasons now since restoration and I have only
seen 1 in all the shows/car hops I attend. I see a few 3s, many 6s,
Spitfires, and even a GT6 or 2 but the 4s and even the 4As are few and far
between.
I was at Watkins Glen a few years back in the 3 during the Fall vintage
races. Triumph was the featured mark and the only 4 I could remember seeing
was Matt's, from Triumph Rescue, red 4 under the tent. There were many other
Triumphs but not the 4.
Same in the parking areas. The 6 was the most popular followed by the 3.
Good luck on your repairs.
Bob
