Well, there's Joseph the Amazing Multicolor Herald saloon, born 4 April
1960 and Juan Valdez, the someday-to-be-again Coffee color Herald
convertible (92nd body built) born 14 July 1960. Oh, and my two TR3As
(28/3/60 and 15/4/60)...

But I suspect you mean model ranges, right? :-) In that case, the only
major debut of a model that comes to mind ('though I'm sure someone will
call attention to an obvious oversight on my part) is the Stag, introduced
in the UK in spring 1970. This current year 1999 marked the 30th
anniversary of the TR6, the 40th anniversary of the Herald, and the 50th
anniversary of the Mayflower.
