This car came in a group of 4 projects that I purchased late in 2022. There were 2 1978 Series Specials in 447 blue in the group which means that along with my origianl car, I have 3 cars that were identical ex-factory in 1978. Hence B1, B2 [this car] and B3.

B2 is complete and unmodified except for a repaint in a darker blue, Cheviot wheels and seats either replaced or recovered – all by previous owners.
