CAR IDENTIFICATION

When ordering parts, it is essential that you identify your car exactly, by model year and serial number. Since many part changes were made during model years, the commission number, engine number and body number provide the only positive identification. Quite often a car's title will not show the correct model year. Before ordering parts, please record the applicable numbers from your car. Using these numbers is the best way to ensure that you order and receive the correct parts. Wherever possible, we have listed part applications by commission number (e), body number (b) or gearbox (g). For more information on these numbers and years, see the production data below.

*A Note on TR3B's

The TR3B was a very interesting and rare car. Declining sales in the late 50's and early 60's of the TR3 series had led Triumph to carry out a major re-design of the car, which became known as the TR4. It was based on the TR3 running gear but had a Michelotti designed body with wind-up windows and other features designed to improve comfort. The reaction to the TR4 in America was, initially, less than favourable and there was a minor panic back in Coventry where the feeling existed that a mistake had been made in introducing the TR4, and, it was felt essential that the TR3 was 're-introduced'. The car that was re-introduced was the TR3B and in its most basic form the same as the TR3A. There were two series of commission numbers (TSF and TCF), we believe the TSF series was for the 1991cc (83mm) engine and the TCF series for the 2138cc (86mm) engine. Both vehicles were fitted with the later TR4 all-synchromesh gearbox. These are the only distinguishing features that all experts appear to agree on. Unless otherwise specified in the text, all details of the TR3B can be considered to be the same as the post T60001 TR3A.

Location of Serial Numbers

TR2-3B Commission Number

This number is stamped on a plate which is riveted to the righthand bulkhead panel.

TR4-4A Commission Number

This number is stamped on a plate which is riveted to the lefthand bulkhead panel.

TR2-4A Gearbox Number

This number is stamped on the lefthand side of the gearbox casing.

TR2-4A Engine Number

The engine number is stamped on the lefthand side of the cylinder block.

Supersession of Parts

For those of you in possession of original Triumph parts books you may have information which conflicts with that given in the original book. This is usually because the part has been 'superseded' because of some change in specification. For example XKC510 is the lefthand A-post. It used to be 813100 (and the righthand is still 813101), but when the TR6 USA specification cars had an audible buzzer fitted to advise owners that they had opened their door and left the keys in the ignition, it required an extra hole in the A-post to sense the door being opened. Hence 813100 with one hole for a courtesy light becomes XKC510 with two holes. There are many other examples where our Research & Development Department staff find old Austin/Morris saloon car parts that 'will do' to replace 'no longer available' TR parts. These often utilise different part numbers to those shown in the original Triumph parts book.

INTERIOR TRIM KITS TR4 - TR4A

Trim Kits - TR4 (Soft Top Models)
In clarification this should really be called non-surrey top models, because the surrey soft top is not covered by this specification. The factory called cars not fitted with surrey tops - soft tops, and we will follow that terminology here.

The TR4 had a somewhat interesting arrangement in the rear cockpit, when the hood is not being used to protect you from the elements, it is taken off the frame and stored in the boot of the car, this is exactly the arrangement used by most sports cars of the period, including TR2/3/3A. This leaves the frame on the car, which is then folded down, and frankly, looks quite ugly.

On the TR3 there is actually a hood frame stowage cover, but on the TR4 - rather ingeniously - the hood frame stowage cover becomes part of the interior trim, and forms a kind of mini-armchair with two sides and a back provided with thick padding, to allow rear passengers to sit behind the driver and front seat passenger in comfort! The interior trim kit therefore comprises a pair of door panels, white piped, a pair of quarter panels, white piped, a pair of rear wheel arch covers, white piped, loose material to cover the inner rear wing, behind the B post, and the triangular covers for the B post lower reinforcing gussets, as well as the three pieces across the back of the car to provide the hood stowage cover.

The only items needed to complete the interior trimming of a TR4 soft top model are the front seat covers and the rear seat cushion cover.

Trim Kits - TR4 (Surrey Top Models)
The interior trim kit, for TR4s fitted with a surrey top, has a pair of door panels, white piped, a pair of rear quarter panels, white piped, and a pair of rear wheel arch covers, white piped, we also supply a tank board with vertical heat formed bars, similar to the TR5/6 models. We are not exactly sure if this tank board is correct, so for the moment we will list separate part numbers for TR4 & TR4A kits, though, ultimately you will receive the same item from us whichever you order. Our research will continue into this matter and if we find there is a difference in the surrey top TR4 trim kits, we will adjust the contents accordingly, and supply them as distinct from the TR4A kits.

The kits also include two strips of vinyl to cover the inner rear wing, behind the B post, and two triangular boards that cover the reinforcing gusset at the bottom of the B post - where it joins the sill. The only items needed to complete the interior trimming of a TR4 surrey top model are the front seat covers and the rear seat cushion cover.

Trim Kits - TR4A
This trim kit comprises: A pair of door panels, white piped, a pair of rear quarter panels, white piped, a pair of rear wheel arch covers, white piped, a tank board with vertical heat formed pleated pattern, not piped, loose material to cover the inner rear wing, behind the B post, and two triangular boards that cover the reinforcing gusset at the bottom of the B post - where it joins the sill. The only items needed to complete the interior trimming of your TR4A are the front seat covers and the rear seat cushion cover.
