...but there are several people reimporting them from Japan now, so those figures are nowhere near correct! Several Jap ones (and the importer) were at the IMM

If I may make a slight amendment to the list THE ANORAK put on a couple of pages ago.

There were about 500 ERAs built with about 400 being exported. Out of the 100 or so left here there were about 60 BRG, 30 Flame red and a very few white & silver ones and I think a black one. The main options were half or full leather interior and front spots.

i stand corrected

to be honest any "decent" info on the ERA turbos is hard to find

I'm now going to correct myself....
I've just copied this from the ERA site - www.eraturbo.co.uk

Statistics

UK Cars

99 UK spec cars were built, of these


4 are known to of been stolen or written off

9 were exported to Japan, though one of these has now been imported again.

5 were exported to Germany,

and 1 to the Sultan of Brunei.


Therefore there are a maximum of 81 cars in the UK, though I'm sure this figure is much lower.



Originally, 53 of the cars were Green,

30 Red,

9 Black,

4 White,

and 3 Silver.


Japanese Cars
337 Japanese spec cars were built, of these
157 were in Red,
and 180 in BRG.

Hi
As my username suggests I have a mini special 1100 from 1979 - restored it 2 years ago and used as many genuine parts as we could - if nayone has a mini special interior in blue let me know as may be interested in buying it to complete the car.
Also have a special that was cut to be a convertible but still says special on the log book - that is in need of a full restoration.

i have a mini ritz, the only non standard bit is my wheels,

are there many people with mini ritz's on this forum?
im really playing with the idea of going all out and doing whatt i want to it or restoring to original spec?

[THE ANORAK]

i believe an original Ritz is vary rare, just like the park lane and the advantage

[giacomo]

yeah the only thing i really need to check though is my dashboard,
does anyone know if the original had a 2 dial or 3 dial dash as mine is 3 and i have been told otherwise ?
