Ah, that is a good piece of info!
DO you have any idea of the transmission numbers at the beginning of
'68, '69, '70, '71, and even further? I assume that the gearbox # roughly
approximates the comm# as starting from the TR5/250. Therefore, I guess
that the
first TR6 had a gearbox with CD8500 or so. I guess that if you add the
8500 or so
to the TR6 commission # you will get around the right transmisson number.
Were there and gaps or jumps?
