Thanks David

As mentioned there are two '62 RHD BN7s in Australia and one went to New
Zealand, so that leaves nine and five of these became Works Rally Cars so
just four were sold to the UK market.

There was one BN3/1 built and one BN3/4.

A tri-carb with a side shift is probably rarer these days.
