All,
Does anyone else have any pictures of original TR4A commission plates? I noticed that the ones sold by TRF have a couple of small differences at least compared to the 2 examples that I have. The originals only have "COVENTRY" on the bottom line while the reproductions have "COVENTRY, ENGLAND. The originals also have "THE STANDARD MOTOR Co LTD" while the reproductions have "THE STANDARD TRIUMPH MOTOR Co Ltd.".
I've sent Albert at TRF some pictures of mine (see below) and was wondering if anyone else had some more examples I could send him. Note in my second one you can just make out the "TR" in the center for "CONVENTRY" and a few of the letters in the same positions for "THE" and "MOTOR"
Here's the reproduction. Note this is one that I purchased from them back in 1984/1985 and it looks like it hasn't changed based on the drawing in the latest web special catalog.
Albert mentioned that the reproductions match some of the pictures of originals in Piggott's Originality Guide so I found a used copy for a reasonable price so I could see which commission number they have (hopefully it will get here this week).
