Post by: BRT-GTR on April 23, 2018, 04:50:25 PM: There are no known records of the 31, 350, Red, GTRs machines originally imported to the UK. No GTOs or Solid gold GTRs came to the UK.
Recently found out 30 machines came in as a batch to Bill Smiths and Steve Murray brought in 1 further machine some time later.
I don't know the number of my original UK 350 GTR but I do remember it had separate steel thimbles for the clutch springs, suggesting it was numbered before 01022.
