Rare birds indeed but Black was always available from Standard-Triumph to special order only and it 
rarely appeared in the colour charts. Interior trim was to customer choice from standard colur 
range. The minimum paint run was for 25 cars (any model) and these were always painted on Friday 
afternoons prior to the paint lines being cleaned out every weekend.

and SKD variants for local build in the 12 (or was it 15?) overseas assembly plants may have been 
variable.

Not true. North America had no specially reserved colours or restricted colours. You guys could 
order what everyone else ordered
