And the stopped selling the BGT in the States after 74, I seem to recall the 
story at the time that the extra weight would upset the emmissions equation and 
it wouldn't meet standards.  Sad days for BL indeed.  

Anyway, the one for sale has dual SUs, obviously isn't a US model, and is in 
the best color for rubber bumper Bs, black.  I believe you could import it now 
under the rolling 25 year exemption rule.

The US version had a Stromberg carb with a water choke, not Solex.
