Sam, with respect, I'd guess that figure is wildly underestimated. First, it depends which records 
Derek Graham interrogated. Second, I doubt anyone has ever been able to count the number of cars 
built by Standard-Triumph in the many differing combinations of colour and trim over the years. From 
the factory's perspective it would be a rather pointless exercise. Certainly they would want to know 
how many cars they made of each model and which markets they went to, but colour and trim variations 
would have been of little or no consequence. For the record, Grey ambla and bri-nylon was matched 
initially with Mallard Blue and later, Emerald on all cars - two seaters of all models, all saloons 
and estaste cars as well. Emerald and Grey was a pretty combination and my last 2000 had been 
Mallard and Grey as well.
