Ran into a garage owner on Vancouver Island who was a Leyland dealer mechanic
in Vancouver circa 1970.   He said that BL brought in a TR5 (or early TR6 PI?,
can't remember) as a marketing tool.    It was eventually sold locally, and,
the dealer mechanics cussed the Lucas PI as it was troublesome for them!  I
would doubt they had the specialized PI training and tools of a dealership in
Britain or other markets.    
 
Triumph wasn't the only one to have issues
with early fuel injection systems.   I recall wishing my 74 Volvo had twin
SUs.
 
Cheers, Bruce Simms
