Yes, the TR250s were very nice. I think they were a one year deal (they were sold in UK as well) because of US emissions/safety BS. I think only available here in 68, nothing in 69, then the TR6, 70-on.
The TR250s were quite fast; in UK they got EFI and were even better.
The early TR6s were acceptable but not even close to the 250 in acceleration. Each year of production the TR6s became more anemic as the archaic Brit car industry tried to comply with our emissions requirements.
The improvement of the Offy manifold and Holley carburetor was profound!! I had acquired the parts and was going to do it but traded my British cars for a wheelchair from an Italian bike,
There were a very few TR8 coupes built (6?) and I think all of them had the EFI which was perhaps even better than the Holley deal. I don't think any roadsters got the EFI, or perhaps just the last year of production?
These days I get my thrills with this 48V/1,000W attachment that I fabricated; it does 36mph which is pretty scary in a wheelchair, although I'm signed up to do a TrackNight event at Limerock in my 2015 GTI next month, my first foray onto a racetrack since I wrote off my hand controlled ITB 88 GTI at Road Atlanta 22 years ago.
