Bill,
My first new car was a 1969 TR6 which I tried to track down a few years ago.
Like your case, I only had some photos and memorabilia but couldn't find my
original bill of sale, commission number, etc. The dealer where I bought
the car changed hands and became a Volvo dealership. I contacted them; they
were understanding about my inquiry but said that all records from the Triumph
dealership were destroyed. I traded the car many years later for a
previously owned GTO at a used car dealership - he folded about 6 years after
and a
McDonalds sits on the property!
I gave up the search.....oh, my GTO ownership was rather short lived! That
was the only taste of Detroit muscle I ever had - I traded it for a new MGB
which I kept a long time finally selling it privately when my pregnant wife
insisted that it wouldn't workout with the new baby. I wish I had enough cash
(or a stimulus check!) back then to buy a used family car and hold onto the
MG but with a new house and bills to pay, it just wasn't in the cards.....
Good luck - now the car I'd really like to find was my old '58 TR3A which I
used throughout college but since it was missing a few frame-to-body mounts
(rust) and didn't have one rust free panel by the time I sold it in 1968, I
doubt if it lasted more than a few years.....sad!
