[TR] Build date question??

Randall,
 
That's the best example of how crazy titling a Triumph can be!
 
It beats my TR6 which was built on July 5, 1976, but not shipped to the USA 
 until December, 1976, and not sold until April, 1977.....amazing....how 
did Brit  Leyland make any money leaving products laying around the docks for 
so  long!!??  Geez, by the time the first owner bought the car, the seals 
had  already started to dry rot from nonuse.
 
I guess it was a good thing that Triumph wasn't building TR6s at that  
point or the DOT would have called it a 1977 TR7....that would have raised a few 
 eyebrows!

Now  'funny' is the Sports 6 I used to have, which was built in 1963, but
sold  new as a 1965 model.
