When I bought my TR6 new in May 1976, the snaps were black. The build date was
Sept. 1975. I don't have the VIN number handy, as it is laid up for an engine
rebuild. I do not recall seeing any late TR6's with with white snaps.
But then today is my 47th birthday and I could be suffering from CRS. ( Can't
Remember Stuff).
Yours In Triumph,
Jeff Johnson
original owner '76 TR6
