Mike,
I've been off the list for 3 months so hope that this hasn't already been
posted. Rossi & Clarke's book and TRF's Triumph Companion for TR250&6 say
the first commission number for '71 was CC58298. I can't think of any
other reference that gives a number for '71. Just for comparison,
Piggott's Original Triumph TR gives the first NA TR6 actually built in the
1971 calendar year as CC60903L.
One guess I have for the first '71 model is when the gearbox change (to the
Stag unit's internals) was made at gearbox # CC59817(?). BTW, most books
list that change as having been CC89817, but I think thats probably a
mistake, as it apparently took place in late '70, as the UK car's change
was at CP51163 (built in late '70).
Finally, the last '71 NA model was CC67893L, built on 20Aug71.
Rod. '70 TR6 CC55899L
