FWIW:

My TR-6, CF27518U, was manufactured in September of 1974, according to the
commission plate on the driver's side doorpost.

I can supply additional information about my TR-6, if necessary.

    If we examine the table that I published 5/20/97 which was taken from
    Chris Bullock's TR6 database and update it with your information, we see:

    1974 Comm #   Year      Owner
    -----------------------------
    CF25186UO     1974      ingate@shiseis.com (Shane Ingate)
    CF25689U      1974      becky_sforza@nmh.northfield.ma.us (Becky Sforza)
    CF25718UO     1974      Scott.Mackay@SEMATECH.Org (Scott Mackay)
    CF27463U      1974 1/2  Carelallen@aol.com (Carel Allen)
    CF27518U      1974 1/2  flarsen@earthlink.net (Flemming Larsen)
    CF27535U      1974 1/2  streeter@sanders.com (Ken Streeter)

    I have associated Allen's, Larsen's and Streeter's cars as 1974 1/2
    based on information (body and ornament styles) supplied by them, and
    the generalization that "1974 1/2 started with CF27xxx".

    It appears that Scott has the "last of the 74s" on this list...

    My question is, what happened to CF26xxx cars?  Are there any, or is
    this a big gap in the BL numbering scheme that was deliberately
    introduced to demarcate the 1974 and 1974 1/2 cars?  In counting
    the total number of TR6s sold, are CF26xxx included? (if so, and no
    CF26xxx cars were produced, then this would artifically inflate the
    number of TR6s sold).
