I've seen a 1972 model year TR6 with special order
Black paint and Grey interior. It was up for auction
on eBay last year sometime. I think I have pictures of
it at home, including the original Commission Plate
which has the color codes stamped on it. Paint 11,
Trim 78.
Regarding the rare Grey interior, the only other times
I've seen it was on two separate 1972 model year
Emerald green cars. Both had factory hard tops as
well. Bill Piggott should get pictures of rare models
like these for the next revision of "Original
TR4/4A/5/250/6".
