Re: [TR] Pre-production TR6

["John Macartney" <john.macartney@ukpips.org.uk>]

If the guy is claiming it's a prototype (or what we called a 'mule') it's
likely an excuse to pass off a tired TR6 as something special when it isn't.
Usually, the only time a 'mule' or 'mules' were made were when there was
something fundamentally different in the engine / transmission and/or
suspension. To all intents and purposes the TR6 was nothing more than a
simple re-skin of the TR5/250. It was only done because Michelotti was up to
his eyes in work for other mnftrs and Karmann stepped in to do a low cost
'refresh' of a now aging design. Hope this helps
