So to wrap everything up (this letter and all the other previous posts), in regards to my first post (about my confusion about my bike being an 'SC'), it's not that my bike is an 'SC', but that the 'TR6C' and the 'TR6SC' are the same thing-just that the TR6C is the latter of the two designations for the same bike.Īnd the 'TR6(S)C' can be one of two(?) different versions, one being the 'Western U.S.A.' "Desert Sled" variant. Where the S was dropped probably for the reasons given by Cliff Majhor It seems logical that the batch yours is in marks the first of the ones TU is not listed in any of the referenceĪgain I have not checked every one but it seems those designated TR6C went to the West Coast whereas TR6C/SP or TR6C/SR went to East Coast After that I can find TR6C, TR6C/SP or TR6C/SR, TR6SS and aīrand new one to me TR6C/TU. In the full record this one is givenĪs a TR6C. Not have the time but The last use I can find of TR6SC in the records isĭU29163 27/10/65 in Harry's book. I have not gone through every record individually because I simply do The 1966 model year for TR6s started on 6th August 1965 at number The previous batch was made between 14 October 1965 and 27 October 1965. The batch it is in were built between & 1 Feb January 1966 and was sent to JoMO (Johnsons Motors, West Coast) on 11 In all 3 your motorcycle is listed as a TR6C, it was built on 4th Later which we assume is either the date the bike actually left theįactory or is the date it was invoiced for. Set give the date built and the full record gives a date a few days I tend to check all 3 because they were kept byĭifferent people and do give slightly different details such as Harry's The brief record set we received from Harry Woolridge The full record does not usually give any The brief details usually only list the frame/engine number, Including where the machine was sent and the other 2 give only briefĭetails. "We have 3 factory record books for most periods. Here is the reply I received from the VMCC library in regards to my inquiry about my bike: Here are some more cool links articles from American Motorcyclist regarding Triumphs in America:Įastern 1966 Triumphs: (Where are the Western models?)
