[TR] Motor Marking

[Keith Stewart]

Hi Bob. I think you may have been misinformed. I believe the ‘E’ suffix was on all of those engines. The TR4 engine in my TR3, as well as the engines in my 61, 62, and 63 TR4s; and the engine in my 67 TR4A all have the ‘E’ suffix.

Just a further comment.  My Plus 4  left the Malvern factory on March 22, 1961 with TR3 engine 81957E.  It is my understanding the E was added indicating it was going to Morgan.  Also it appears the original block and diff colors were red, rather than black as I believe Triumphs were.  I have seen the red on other Morgans and mine still wears the original red on the Diff.
