Dave,
There was a saloon that was powered by a 2 liter 6 cylinder engine, the
same engine as used in the GT6. These cars are very rare in the US,
although there were 10 or 11 of them in Portland, OR last year at the VTR
Convention. The non manual equipped cars came with a 3 speed automatic. I
think these cars were built in the 60's. Even more rare in the US, since
they were never officially imported here, is the 2500 saloon. This used the
same engine as the TR6, including some versions with PI (right JonMac?). I
have only seen 2 of these, and they both have manual trannies, but I'd be
surprised if they weren't available with a slushbox.
Hope this helps some.
