I don't now nor have I ever actually owned a TR6, but a number of my
co-workers bought them when I lived in England in the mid '70s. None
of them had pin striping when they picked them up. One of the guys
put red and white pin stripes on his French Blue car, and another put
yellow or beige stripes on his Sienna car. This was in 1975-76.
Earlier cars may have had stripes, but I think that it was a dealer
installed option.
