The wood dash WAS standard factory equipment on the TR4's built from sometime
in the spring of '64. When I picked up my car at the factory in Jun of '64
it had a wooden dash, much to my surprise. When I asked the customer tech
who brought the car out to me, his reply was that it was standard at no extra
cost. My car was built in April of '64.
BTW the wood dash replaced the white metal dash -i.e. it was not just put
on over it. Piggott (Original Triumph TR ) says that it is not known exactly
when the factory made the wood dash standard. Cheers.
