If you have a 6 manual with an 87 copyright, we are SOL. Too bad.

I have a TR2-TR4A Haynes published under the Drake Publishers Inc.
name, although the Copyright is JH Haynes 1972. I have the very same
book, by Haynes with a 1971 and 1980 Copyright. One TR5, 250 & 6 Haynes
has Copyright dates of 1974, 1978 and 1987 and a second I have lists
only 1974 and 1978. I have a third one of these, but it's still in the
wrapper. None of the manuals list printing dates. I case you are
wondering, I'm keeping the manuals so that when I give the cars to my
kids (or sell them God forbid!) they'll have appropriate repair
materials.
