Default Another 412 USA!

Hi Andrew,

I would be pretty certain that this is one of the missing "USA" 412s. The brochure for the USA shows two LHD USAs, neither of which appear to be either this car or Peter's so that makes it a minimum of 4 to account for!

I suspect that these are tucked in alongside the Beaufort production run. Everything I can see on the Swiss car says it is what we refer to as a USA spec. The USAs even appear to have their own special hubcap badges.

It may not have the cat as it was going to Switzerland.

So where are the rest?

Philippa
