Misfit Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Anyone know what the original purchase price was of a TR6 in 1969? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 $A 4502 on the road with type A O/D and wire wheels in Australia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Scan from the price list of 17th February 1969 follows. By October 1969 the soft top had gone up slightly to £1366 11s 11d and hard top to £1412 5s 16d. The optional extra prices all remaining the same. Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Interesting that they option of 60 spoke wire wheels is given. Surely that should be 72 spoke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot more money to be made taxing cars than making cars in those days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John McCormack Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 In 1974 I was living on the south coast of New South Wales and bought a new Toyota Celica for $3,800, including optional mag wheels. My recollection is that at the time a new TR6 from the local Leyland dealer was in the order of $8,000. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Good spot on the 60 spoke wires, it looks like that error continued in the price lists probably to the end of the CP series as it was still listed in the 24th April 1972 one. Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I have a copy of a 1974 ad from a US dealership that shows the 74 TR6 at $5049.60. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CP26309 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 The '60 spoke' error had me go out to my garage to recount mine as I was sure they were 72! Thanks for publishing that Derek. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
