Triumph TR6 - Calling all 74 owners
| If you have been following the thread about all the 1971 TR-6 that are around you will know that according to BTP there were more 74 built then 71. Let's see how many 1974 TR-6 we can find. I'll start: Sylvain D: CF20793U April/74 Just Cut and Paste and keep adding to the list. |
| S Demers |
| Well here's my 1974 Dec/73 CF16284U,Mallard. Cheers Malcolm |
| M Macdonald |
| Great idea, Sylvain., especially since we can include the 74.5s. To make it even more useful, lets include data plate info. If the car is currently a different color, so note it.

| Rod Nichols |
| Even though 74 was the best selling year, I still prefer the 71s because of the black instruments, seat style,vent lid, and TR6 decal on the rear fenders. Ok, I did add the chin spoiler from the later cars. Berry Price |

| Rick, you would have more on the 71 list if everyone that chimed in late with a 71 took it upon themselves to update the list with their information instead of just throwing it out there. After all, it's not exactly rocket science, it's just a matter of: a)open a reply, b)grab the text block list, c)control C, d)place the cursor in the new pos, e)control V, f)insert the new information into the text block, g)hit submit It would seem to me that unlike some of the 71 folks, these 74 folks have picked up on that little tid bit......... |
| SteveP |
| Steve, to me rocket science is easier than what you just listed. I'm one of those "who rely on the kindness of strangers". Rick this is a 74 thread. 71's not allowed. What do you think fellow 74's, should I report abuse? Besides, the battle has already been won, more 74's were sold than 71's. Chris ( hope to see you guys up in Thornbury this weekend, still trying to get the Sunday off) |
| Christopher Trace |
| Hay Steve, I did do a little magic with the chaps that did not update the list. They are on this one. All you 74 owners might want to take note that at least us older guys put ourselves in proper chronological order. AND MR. Trace you might want to make note that, here on this list, there are still more 71s to 74s. Hope you get the weekend off so we get to see you on Sunday. Rick C |
| Rick Crawford |
| Chris, well for steps "c" and "d" you could use the "copy" and "paste" commands under the "Edit" pulldown menu. All in all, only about 15 seconds for the opening the reply, grabbing the text block, copying the text block and pasting the text block. Inserting the vehicle information is a function of having handy and the user's typing speed, then another second to reach down and hit reply. I guess it's just some of the old pre-mouse retro-grouch coming out in me to use lots of keyboard commands instead of the pulldown menus. Rocket science on the other hand ....... |
| SteveP |
| Steve, Stop! My brain hurts. |
| Christopher Trace |
| Mine too, but the single malt scotch is taking care of the pain. |

| and the battle is well and truly joined..... Well, Mr. Traceo (Christopher Traceo, ontario, catrace at b2b2c dot ca Posted 26 July 2006 at 01:52:28 UK time), I will pick up where Rick left off, so to speak, as he had indeed left one off the list. So here we are with list updated: SteveP: CC56209L July 1970/1 Ken J: CC56757 Aug 1970/1 Kyran: CC57225L Oct 1970/1 Don B:CC57632 OCT 70/1 Don K: CC58660 Nov 1970/1 Angel T:CC58973L ? 1070/1 Charlie S: CC60260LO Dec 1970/1 (build started May'70:) John B: CC60621L Joe S: CC60628LO Dec 1970/1. benji: CC61654LO Jan 1971 Dan M: CC61685LO Jan 1971(OD long gone) To be an 'OrD:) Rick C: CC62645L Sept 1971 Notice the date..(donor car) Mike CCC62976L Mar 1971 Berry: CC63230L Mar 1971 (254 TR6s after Mikes') Tom S: CC63828L April 1971 Jim: CC63860L April 1971 Dan M: CC64944L May 1971 (1084 after Jim..WOW) Rick C: CC65060L May 1971...(now with an O at the end:)..116 TR6s after Dans'). Doug B: CC65881L June 1971 TOTAL=19 However, it would appear that I gave you '74 guys a bit too much credit in my post of 11 July, 17:50:40 compared to '71 folks. So with that, I am declaring myself officially out of the "updating the list" business. So it's either do it yourself with the instructions in my referenced post or get yourself a role in "A Trolley Named Tallulah" and depend on the kindness of strangers (stranger than what?). |

| Good eye Steve. Benji should not have been left off the list. Thank you. Well Mr. Trace???? I could say something mean about your numbers of 74s has decreased by one lately but nah! that would not be kind. AND besides! There where 13491 71s produced and 14583 74s produced (both markets). So how come we are even in numbers? Rick C |

| I added our two new '74s; I had to guess at some of the data, so please check your commission #, etc. and correct/add any info. Club 74 (and the 74.5 Annex) is looking pretty good. Maybe it's time for a new thread so we don't keep dragging excess electrons.

| Maybe I am missing something here. Is this not suppose to be a list of 1974 TR6s? Why do we have, from #15 to #22, all built as 1974.5. What does that mean? Is this not the '75 model year? What does the commission plate say??? 1974.5?? I thought that years started roughly August previous year and went to August of that year. The above '74 list starts August '73...OK so far but goes to January (or February with Sid) of 1975. It should also be noted that there was major changes between '74 and '74.5. I think the '74 list actually stops at number 14......IMHO Rick C |

| Rick, The "74.5" is the 'high-bumper' version with the turn lamps below the bumper. Still a 74. Looking back at some of the comments (mine included) this is starting to look like there are some MG owners in the mix....aren't we all driving TR6's??? :) Rod |

| It had struck me as somewhat odd also as some of this is not supported by production survey information that I have, but to a certain extent I attribute it to BL model year flakiness (there was some preiod of overlap with 74 and 75 model year production, I also remember some new 74 1/2s coming into Overseas Motors after the first of the 75 cars had arrived) and US standards that were being implemented on the fly. If I am remembering correctly there are two quick discriminators between the 74 1/2 cars and the 75 cars. If it has all amber front park/turn lens and no air pump, it is a 74 1/2. If it has the clear and amber front lens and/or an air pump (or was originaly fitted with one if it has been removed) it is a 75. In either case both the 74 1/2 and the 75 cars, providing a human attribute, would know how to wear a sweater if you know what I mean. |

| Rick, The factory used to adapt the production line over the summer holiday period to reflect the models of the new year. The list should stop at 13. Number 14 is probably also a model 1975. Erik |

| A quick look on the VTR site finds the 1975 chassis numbers starting at CF35001U. 1974 and 1974 1/2 range from CF12501U to CF35000U, so it looks like we're all in. Check for yourself.... http://www.vtr.org/TR6/TR6-production.shtml Rob |

| The "74.5" designation started at CF27000, and I got mine (CF27006U) from the original owner. It was produced in Aug 1974 and sold on 8 Jan 1975 in Honolulu. All the original paperwork has it as a 74 model year. I wonder if the "74.5" designation was an official British Leyland designation. It's interesting to see from our list that cars built in Jan 1975 were still titled "74s". Was there some emission standard (air pump) for 1975 model cars that could be avoided if they were titled as 74s? There must have been some reason BL held off designating the 75 model until CF35000.
