Re: [TR] use of overdrive

["Foster, Stan (HP IT)" <stan.foster@hp.com>]

Very few TR6's came to the US with Overdrive which is borderline criminal as
far as I am concerned but I have seen this decision rationalized as reducing
the cost of the base model and also because at the time there was a 55mph
speed limit so why would anyone need an overdrive... In contrast you would
have to work pretty hard to find a PI car that didn't have overdrive from the
factory.

Stan (74 TR6 with retrofitted  J-Type, thank you John Esposito)

...  Which brings me to ask a question:  Why did any fool buy a new  Triumph
w/o OD?  They were like an $85.00 option.  What a shame they  were not all
built with OD.
