This one needs to be zoomed in on a bit as its difficult to read, but its a stock listing dated the 22nd April 1982.

It refers to 50 cars for "Kuwait Model"

Although not all 50 ended up being sent there, only around 25 , the remaining 25 went to other areas in the UAE.

Also you can see 88 Canadian models in stock!

Thanks again to James Espey.

Cool,


I assume that this is from the Factory?

Any idea what the difference between some of the different line items, such as

121AS Auto/Sport
121ASO Auto Sport

and what would a USA model be?

Well...

The different trim types all stack up, different carpets etc...interesting there was no burgundy, blue or tan trimmed cars in stock at that time.

I think there was only ever 1 or 2 trimmed in burgundy or blue anyway AFAIK.

But the 'Sport' question is a good one..there had to be something different about those cars to the others...and not sure what the USA model means either.....also 'Common Model'.

Unless the 'Sport' means side stripes? ans the rest can be explained by subtle differences in trim etc?

Hang on...

They cant all relate to cars as there would be over 6000 cars in stock....which cant be right at that time.

And that is a factory stock-take AFAIK.
