I've wondered for a long time how many cars survive that were build close to mine.
My TR6 is a '72, comm. #CC 81661U.
My TR3 is a '60, Comm. #TS 70295L.

What's your #?
 
I've wondered the same thing and always watch other posts for similar numbers. Here's mine...

'73 TR6, CF8584UO
 
And here's mine:
 
60 TR3A 65750, eng # 65973.

There's a pretty good registry site where you can look up numbers:

TR Registry

A quick look indicates that "TeeYah" is still listing Kansas as its home..

Randy
 
Yeah, it still lists me as the owner of TS22312L even though I told him that I sold it.
 
Thanks Randy. Found one within 150 on the 6 and inside 1000 on the 3. The closest number was a lower number that is registered as a '61.
 
Actually, I conversed with a guy a couple of years ago who was the original owner of a TR4 1 number off mine - I think we connected numbers via the team.net emails. Sadly both of our cars were not quite ready for a reunion, but it was interesting to compare notes.

Randy
 
Thanks for pointing out my registration still shows the previous owner. I hadn't looked at that in at least six months.

I've emailed the site owner several times in the past, about making the change, but never seem to get a response. I'll try again today.

A friend of mine own two 3's that were consecutive numbers. Unfortunately, neither will ever see the road again.
 
I've got two Heralds that are almost as close: Y13342L and Y13345L. Both were originally built with the same paint and trim colors, and the body numbers are only 2 apart (YC4089 and YC4091).

My Mayflower, TT22461LDL, is only four higher than what's left of one that resides about 80 miles south of me. And I used to have a parts car, TT24261LDL (two digits transposed), as well.
 
I have a very curious engine number on the stamped tab.

CC 4195 E

At some time in the distant past, someone on the forum
informed me this number represents a TR250 engine. Now
it appears this number is NOT a TR250.

Anyone have an idea what a CC with only four digits might
represent? It is a 6 cylinder and all the TR6/250 components
I have purchased fit properly.

curious as always.

May have been a restamp of a new unnumbered block with a digit missing. According to info I have CC series started at # 25001 thru to CC 85737 at end of 1972 with either E or UE at the end. UE being export E being home market.
Cf series started in 1973,
 
Why do you think there should be an 'H' ? Usually, that would mean a high-compression variant, and the TR250 would have been lower, not higher compression. I don't see it mentioned on the above site, either.

Not sure why Tinster thinks his number is not a TR250 either. Generally those numbers never had leading zeroes, so 4 digits would only mean it was before number 10,000 in the series.
 
The owner of a red 1958 TR3A has a Comm. No. about 25 after mine. He is the person who put on the TRA even in up-state NY last June.
 
Thanks Andy,

So it looks like my CC 4195 E block is in fact from a TR250
and my tranny # CT ....is from a TR4A and my firewall
# 28965 CC is from a 1969 TR6. My seats from a 1971 TR6.

I should rename my car "Joseph" with the coat of many colors.
Or numbers in my case.

I wish I knew the history of my car. There's gotta be a good
tory there somewhere, prior to it being Pedro-ized.

Funny you should say that! I have a Herald sedan that I nicknamed "Joseph" many years ago. It's an eternally continuing (well, eternally on hold would be more accurate) project that currently sports various body panels in at least four different colors! :laugh: The poor car appears to have had a very difficult early life. But then, it's life with me since 1970 hasn't been very easy. I originally bought it for parts, but the recipient car went away, and "Joseph" still exists, to be restored back to its original "Personal Export Delivery" splendor someday.
