jazz635 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi All' I have recently imported from the Illinois a Triumph TR4A IRS Registered in the States in 1967 I have decoded the VIN with regard to it being a non overdrive , LHD , Trim Exterior : New White, Interior : Matador Red Leather . What I am trying to define is the actual build date ( date of manufacture ) I have had one kind chap reply saying it was December 1965 but also someone the chassis number below post 65 in build The Chassis No: CTC63795L Any Help would be much appreciated. Many Thanks Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bfg Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Hi Dave, according to Mr Bill Piggott's excellent Original Triumph TR page 102 ; CTC 50006 was built on 5-Jan-1965 while CTC 64148 was built on 3-Jan-1966. If you were to assume a linear production numbers throughout the year (which would ignore holidays and factory stoppages or supplier delays) you can work back from there to estimate your car's build date ..late in 1965.

ianc Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 See page 4 of TR Action. You can obtain a trace from British Motor Museum - website is britishmotormuseum.co.uk/archive/heritage-certificates. Cost is £43 plus postage. You need to quote model, commission/chassis number, and allow 28 days for delivery. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
