Yeah I hear ya on what triumph put on their cars to get them out the door.
I had a 4a that was single digits from the last one (I think it was 8 from the end) it had an alternator on it from the factory!

It was at the Concour de Elegance judging, and two TR3 owners were arguing about whose car was 'original as built', because they had different suspension parts.  They were both 'correctly described being 'as built'.  Especially towards the end of a model's run (i.e., the TR3B) TRIUMPH was building cars with whatever parts were left on the shelf.  It resulted in some unique cars, and some heated discussions.
