Default LHD production numbers

My car has all the same features you mention. The two down pipes join into the single exhaust , in my case, with a catalytic converter.

The guages and switches are identical. There was a rumor that the Beaufighter was made out of unsold 412USA's however I think this is unlikely given that Bristol probably built to order rather than build an enormous stock. However I do have drawings for the 412USA that would suggest preparations for a production run.



The chassis number on my car is into the Beaufighter range and if the info is correct on this car, sold in 1984, is after the initial Beaufighter registrations. Also Early Beaufighters have the flat dash. My car was built in the fall of 1979 and has the same dash configuration as this car.



The plot thickens!
