I am happy to provide a monthly breakdown of the production for the
6 x Deluxe and 6 x Super models if requested ie Super Column Auto V8
x 24 in March 1974 etc.
Interesting to look at the early months of production, where Leyland
completely underestimated the demand for the upper range models.
They stockpiled a lot of Deluxe's for the June 26th launch thinking
that this was going to be the model most in demand. As it turned out
a lot of the initial demand was for the V8 Super's and Executives.
I have spoken to a number of old Leyland dealers who were losing
sales to Holden and Ford simply because customers were not prepared
to wait for a car to turn up.
By the time Leyland had ramped up production of the upper range
models and caught up with demand in early 1974 the horse had already
bolted.

James Mentiplay
