[TR] TR4 Engine Mount Question

[Keith Stewart]

James Henningsen asked:

Happy Holidays!  I have an early (Feb 62) TR4 that has rectangle front engine mounts like a TR3.  Is this correct for an early TR4 (CT5212LO) or should I have the round TR4 mounts?  

++++++++++

My 1962 is CT6716LO and I bought it in 1966 and there were no signs the engine had ever been removed as it only had 16 000 miles. The engine mounts were the rectangular ones. The frame certainly does not seem to be any type of modified TR3 frame as some have suggested. What would one look for to identify an extended TR3 frame?
