I have never seen a T/R 2/4 with matching numbers, may be correct on
later
models but not at the beginning as far as I know. "FT"
It is my experience that for every Triumph it would be purely a
coincidence if the engine and commission numbers actually match. In
cars produced early in a series, the chances are better since the
numbers would start at 1 for the engine and the commission number. As
you get later in the series, or if the engine number sequence spans
series, the chances become more remote.
