Hi, Alex
Unfortunately, I can't help you with these numbers. If I did give you one it
would be a random guess. Perhaps Piggot may have some info in his books (don't
have any myself) and its a remote possibility that one of Mike Cook's books
might provide an indication. That said, it's possible Cook's book would only
look at the NA content of output and this would cloud the issue.
As I know from personal experience of those days, export production as a whole
tended to swing in favour of specific markets so cars could be built and
shipped within the confines of the confirmed irrevocable letters of credit
that were issued by the buyer to pay for them. I've written a long article on
how Export Sales and Production Control Depts handled CILC's, strikes,
supplier shortages and why some cars sat for so long in the UK before they
were shipped. This features in the sequel to my earlier book - due out when I
can find a publisher :)
Cheers, John

Hi John,
Can you shed some light on Std Triumphs daily production output for the TR
series in the 50's and early 60's. Specifically, the TR3 range. It appears
there are a few cars here in the states that are within 80 (numbers) cars of
each other. May have been made the same day or week.
Many thanks,
Alex
