As Arwyn says a check on the chassis number is only infallible way of knowing the provenance of a +4, and due to rebuilds etc many do not have the original chassis number visible.
There are so many +4s with Dual Webers that claim to be Super Sports models , but did not leave the factory that way. It may a recreation of an SS , and there s nothing wrong with that if you are not a stickler for originality, but it will affect the price.
There were about 50 SS models with the low line body, and these are generally the genuine article, but the factory also built a similar quantity of high line bodied cars which are also know as Super Sports models (but not by the purists!)
In addition to the dual Webers I would also look at:
The exhaust manifold , it should have a 4 long primary pipes which join into 2 , and both pipes exit through the chassis (the hole needs elongating) and they join into a Y piece just before silencer . Again due to wear and tear it is quite possible that the original manifold has long been replaced of course.
the cooling system. Does it have the extended pipes from the radiator back to a header tank on the bulkhead?
It should have a cast alloy rocker box cover , possibly with LawrenceTune cast into it. If it only has the standard TR steel plate item, I would beware.
All the other SS mods are hidden rom view (head work , cam )
Send us some photos and details (via PM if necessary) and we will try to sort it for you.
