Hi, I have two TR130s with Caroline on the band-spread dial. I worked I the factory in Skegness Lincolnshire, where they were made. They were still in production, right up till the factory closed in June 1975. I have a very low serial No VTR330 which was prototyped in 1973/4 and launched in 1974, it lasted less than a year before being discontinued when the factory closed.
