Sorry, my mistake.

I agree, but the claimed 0-60 of the TR6 stretches credibility as much as Fords claimed  power output figures for the Essex V6 did.
A figment of some marketing mans imagination.

Well.

Motor magazine managed 8.5 seconds in 1969. Autocar recorded 8.2 in the same year.

By modern standards the TR6 is small and relatively light. The early models had a 'claimed' 150 BHP from the 2.5 straight six.

Maybe time was measured more slowly back then.

I believe that until fairly recently the Hillman Hunter was still manufactured in Iran, so I'd imagine there are still a few going round there.

That is correct! When I was there they were/are called Paycans with no light clusters back or front fitted!! 
I believe they bought the old tooling from Rootes back in the 70's when the Shah was in power.

I think they replaced it with the Pug 405

I think they replaced it with the Pug 405

Which is a direct descendent of the Hunter.
