[TR] Early TR4 Configuration

[GHaynesTR4 at aol.com]

Here's another data point.   Sorry I'm joining the party late but the car is 
stored off-site and I just got a look at it today.
Comm no: CT 5460 L
Body tag no: 5562CT (riveted on, near voltage regulator)
Cannot find a tag in the LR wheel well (covered with thick undercoating)   If 
someone can tell me more specifically where to look, I'll do some scraping...

Configuration:
1. This car now has a sliding boot lid prop but it appears to have been added 
later because the prop is black (car is green) and bracket welded to edge of 
lip appears to have been brazed on.   Then I found a loose (green) prop rod in 
the boot.  It is 15.5" long, with a J-hook on one end and a pivot bracket 
attached to the other end.   The bracket is 3.25" long, L-shaped, and has one 
mounting hole and one mounting slot.   I cannot find where this bracket was 
attached to the boot lid so conclude that the boot lid and sliding prop were both 
changed some time after production.
2. Tab for wire harness IS in place right under terminals which attach to 
voltage regulator.
3. Tail light lenses are L669, having concentric markings, but I cannot 
attest to their being original
4. Spare tyre bracket is welded to boot floor
5. There is NO tab on the bonnet release

The car appears mostly correct, except for later TR4 or TR4A seats.
BTW, because it was mostly dismantled already, I bought this car for parts.   
There is a Surrey Top with it, which is in pretty good condition.   Look for 
postings by "wilecatoyte" on e-Bay.
