Chassis Number
115206 Engine
Number 114872
Car Number B1 /
8079

The records at the British Motor Industry
Heritage Trust at Gaydon indicate that the fabric body was brown and the trim
was black. The car was manufactured as a RHD export model and currently resides
in New Zealand.
It is interesting to note that the engine
number is lower than the chassis number rather than the norm where, when engines were
used for purposes other than the retail models, the numbers became out of
sequence with the chassis numbers, the engine number being higher.
