My 63 is also a German market car.
Locking steering wheel column with ignition switch under the dash,
cigarette lighter where the ignition switch goes, and the very convienent OD
switch on the left side of the column.
I love the position of the OD on the left and thought all TR4's with OD were
set up this way.
