Judging by some period price lists, I suspect that in UK they didn't have TN-V and first Hondas of this type imported there were already of the "TN-7" range = imported not before late 1975 or 1976. But more and better sources are needed. I hope there is something about it in dsl's annual market catalogues. Just for the record, 1978+ Acty TN 550 is excluded.

Weasel1984 ◊ 2020-02-26 15:24	These dates are enough - so they confirm there were only "TN-7s" TN 360s in UK before "Acties".
