I've never figured out whether the numerals would have been sequential if the
engines were sent to other car manufacturers, but I suspect they were.
Whereas I don't know if TVR engines were marked specifically for TVR use,
Morgan TR engines had a different suffix -- ME instead of E, but retaining
the
prefix of TS or CT.
