Yup, I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification.
BTW, this is sorta related...it's my understanding that TR stands for
"Triumph Roadster". This is true for all the models until the TR7 which
also came with a coupe model (and maybe the TR8 as well). In fact maybe
the TR7 coupe came before the convertible. Is this an inconsistency with
the naming convention or does the TR actually stand for something else?
( Oh yeah, I know a true roadster would not have wind up windows. )
