Jim, I got the same reaction from John S. of TRF when I wanted info.
Com # CR6064. Registered as a 1976 Triumph TR 6 2D SDN. I assume the
registration to be true. Came to US in 85. Stephen Roff and Ean Clarke
wrote in " TRIUMPH TR 5/250 TR 6 Companion" " The last TR6 to be built
with fuel injection rolled from the production lines in February 1975,
but as the figures show was not sold until 1976." I assume that the
cars were registered in the year purchased as the included chart showed
only 14 TR 6's being delivered that year. The color was Magenta, I
wonder what it is about purple cars? Slow movers. It was white when I
picked it up and I restored it in a GM "whiter" white. The door latch
receiver and cover plate for the wiper motor had the 74 #s. Interesting
car as it had a low front bumper and a gear shift on the left! I Sold
it to fly. Proper ending as I restored it in a hanger where I work. If
you ever get the chance to buy a PI system, do it. Be sure to buy a neck
brace to wear on the first out ride. They can be quite fast off the
line with 60 tyres. Have fun.
