[TR] TR4 Reverse Lamp Switch

[Andrew Mace]

 Randall, I think that any "Federal" requirement for backup lights, at least
on imports, came later. I admit that I'm not so familiar with late TR4A models
(some of which stayed around dealers and distributors long enough to be price
listed well into 1968), but it wasn't until the Mk3 of 1967 that backup lights
were standard equipment on Spitfires.

I could be mistaken, but I believe the reversing light was not standard on
TR4, at least not early ones.  They became required for the US market at
some point, but not until 1965 I believe (which would be TR4A).
