Here's a few numbers for Triumphs:

There were 91,850 TR6s made from '68 to '76.  Of these, only 7889 stayed in 
the home market.  That's something like only 9%.

>From 1961 to '76, there were a total of 171,999 TR4s, 5s, 250s, and 6s 
built; only 14717 stayed home - somewhere around 8%.  At one point about 85 
to 90% were going to the U.S.
