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.
Cheers, Jonmac
