The TR3 BETA chassis actually came first and the later TR4 body was put on it.  Frank Marsden engineered the suspension and steering for the TR3 BETA as part of Ray Bates's team tasked with looking into ways to improve the TR.  Rack and pinion steering was something Frank considered important along with the suspension upgrades, hence the wider wings to cover it all.  It was considered so successful that the upscaled Zest TR4 body was simply put on the entire TR3 BETA platform.

And you won't have read that in any book before.  Fortunately, I have it all on camera and included it in the minor revision I made to 'Traditional Triumph TR: From the TR2 to the TR6' that I issued a few years ago.  If you have the version that includes Frank Marsden and Ray Bates then you already have the full story.
