AFAIK, the hyphens were never used to segregate different TR models.
BTW, TR means Triumph Roadster.
Factorywise, they were known as TR2, TR3, 'widemouth' (TR3A) - we
never officially segregated the 3B, this was a US trait, TR4, TR4A,
TR5, TR250, TR6, TR7, TR8.
And what's this about the Triumph sedan? If the semantics are so
critical here, shouldn't we keep to form and call it a Standard Eight
or Ten please, Mr Mace - and nothing else? <g> That's what it was
everywhere else - apart from North America, and let's face it, you
didn't buy it in too much of an abundance anyway. Good heavens, Mr.
Maudslay will be turning in his grave!
