1. I've got an IRS, but I don't know what percentage are IRS.
2. I don't think so.
3. I don't think so.
4. From engine # CT21471E (built in 1963) all TR4s had Stromberg
carburetors. That continued until TR4A # CT62191 (built in
1965), when SU HS6s became standard.
I suppose that CT62191 was sold in the 1966 model year.
5. Length: 12 ft. 9 1/2 inches. Width: 4 ft. 2 inches.
6. There wasn't ever a metal battery box in the car. You'd have to fit an
earlier box if you wanted one, but I don't know anyone who's done this.
