Hmm.   What is the *latest* car on the list that still has drum brakes? 


David: have you had the car since new?  could they have been swapped in
       at a later date?

Carl:  do you recall which source listed the starting number for the
       brake switchover?  it wouldn't be the first time that a published
       Triumph reference had bad info...
