And the Moss TR6 catalog implies that there were something like 97993
total TR6's made - but there are some gaps in the production numbers that
are a little strange, so it is possible that the total was something less
than that - round to 95000, just for yuks. That comes out to maybe 25%
more total numbers than the TR4/4a - not double the number...
At any rate, a more interesting number would be the "survival ratio", the
number produced divided by the number surviving. I'll bet the TR4 SR is a
lot less than the TR6 series and it's a toss-up as to which SR is
larger, TR5/TR250 or GT6 MkII or TR8. It is clearly much smaller for 4's.
Too bad really - even though the sacrifice was to keep other TR's on the
road.

I hear you there. Although I'm _supposed_ to be working right now.

(who can't bear to chop up any Triumph as evidenced by the two extremely
rough TR6's in the front yard. But hey - it pisses the neighbors off.
Nyuk nyuk nyuk. Hey, they paid $250k for thier houses - not me! <smirk>.)
