Basically, there are about 7000 TR4As built after yours...

  CTC 50001 - first TR4A, built January 1, 1965.

  CTC 50125 - Gearbox and clutch housing modified slightly.

  CTC 59836 - Packing pieces changed on front springs (presumably
  this is the change from short springs with aluminum spacers
  to slightly longer springs with no spacers).

  CTC 62191 - Stromberg carburettors deleted and twin SU HS6
  substituted, still on same intake manifold, TW needles.

  CTC 62637 - Temperature sender and gauge modified.

  CTC 78684 - last TR4A, built July 10, 1967.
