Interesting that they all have 12/50 grille but no sunroof, and no ordinary 1200 grilles seen anywhere in this sequence. So did Belgium make 12/50s without sunroofs or 1200s with 12/50 grilles??Either permutation is different from UK spec.

In UK these were supplied by an external contract with Weathershields of Birmingham for fitment on Herald assembly lines, but it was impractical to supply overseas plants or find alternative local sources, so they were only offered with solid roofs.
