I sent away for my cars production information to the British Motor Heritage Trust. I received it yesterday, and found out my car just had her 43rd birthday Sept. 7th. I also found out all her numbers match, (which made me happy), and that she was originally black, (she's currently red). Very interesting info on the options she left Standard Triumph with, and she's still got them all except for the tool kit. It verified she's got the 86mm pistons, and "rationalized" transmission. So I guess when the time comes to take her down for restoration, I'll re-paint her black. They even gave the name of the ship she was on coming to Baltimore, (I guess that was the importer), and I was able to get a picture of the cargo ship on the internet. There was also two dates.....built date of 9-7-62, and another date, (I forget what they called it, I'm at work right now), of 9-12-62.
Pretty interesting stuff......Now if I could find a history of her past owners.....
