[TR] Where is the TR4 frame number located

[John Macartney]

Bob, I don’t remember us ever recording or using frame ref numbers. In fact, don’t think frames were ever numbered from a production standpoint. Nearest you’ll get is/was the body number but the commission number was the most important of all.

Remember, it’s rarely a good idea to squat, unless you’ve already removed your spurs!

All he has is a bill of sale, just thinking a frame number might be enough to get a TR4 title. There are some specialists that can work wonders with very little.
