[6pack] Canada - TR5 or TR250

[David Fidler]

Quite a few exist in NA, but as far as I know, only the few (I think it was 3)
sold in Canada arrived here unregistered new. Of course some US and Canadian
armed forces guys bought TR5s while they were stationed in Europe and shipped
over when they came home, so there are probably a lot more here than we think.
I see them on eBay frOm time to time.

I don't know where the Canadian fives ended up or if they're still on the
road, but I'll ask our guy (he's also our historian, so if anyone knows, he
will).

Best regards,

David.
