 I don't know how much relevance this will have to the original
 poster's TR6, but just in case...

 When I bought my 1980 Spitfire, it came with a "factory-installed
 radio" as a rather overpriced option.  As to whether the radio is
 Lucas, I'm not sure, though I doubt it.  (I can't look at the radio 
 right now because it presently resides in a box in storage.  Sorry.) 
 It does have a tiny BL logo on the faceplate, though.

 The radio also came with a little manual, which I *do* have in front
 of me.  It's cover reads:

            Jaguar
            Rover
            Triumph
            Inc.

            [BL logo]

         OWNER'S MANUAL
              FOR
          AM/FM RADIO

           BLM 105060


 As one might expect, the manual is written in refreshingly correct
 english, unlike the manuals for the radios with which I later replaced
 it.

 As was suggested by an earlier poster, I now have no radio in the
 car, preferring instead to listen to the (usually) happy sound of
 the engine as I drive to and from work.
