dsl ◊ 2021-01-26 02:55	511 LHDs were made from a total of 6999 4-Litre R; no info on where sold, but F was a market for 3-Litre Mk2. Other odd info: - 43 Touring Limousines were made with glass division - VdP made one Countryman estate for Liz's Royal fleet in 1966; it was written-off in an accident, but the remains apparently still survive and may eventually be restored. It had unique vertical rear doors and split tailgate. - some estate conversions were done by Radford - number unknown. They used ordinary slanted saloon rear doors with a one-piece tailgate - one chassis was produced for a hearse - no info where/who it went to - 312 were CKD kits sent to South Africa 1965-66
