Maybe my contribution helps solving this puzzle a bit. I got my body on the 12'th of june 2011. It got produced just before that day. The body (with D24 nose) is different. On my request the tail (behind the rear wheels) has been lenghted somewhat. I thought it would suit the D24, more stretched Italian style more, then the short tail that better suits the German style front. Gary himself wasn't too font of it, I beleive, but I'm very happy with it. I think the proof is in the eating of the pudding. When the car is ready and sprayed, then we'll see how it turns out.
Gary told me, the stretched body was number 48. same number as Trevor had been given. I guess both are produced around the same time. But obviously, there can only be one number 48. Trevor mentioned on his blog that he collected the kit on the 2'nd of july. For that matter I think I would be number 47.

Hi,
oops !! sorry about confusion ....you are 47 , Trevor 48 ...my mistake.
For anyone reading this , this body is the one strapped on the vitesse at the top of the 'getting started' page !
I don't mind the stretched tail ....Lancia's are stretched more than the Sammio ....but I like the bobbed one too...
The beauty of the cars is their flexibility and your stretched tail will prove that...so far this little concept has had its tail stretched , its nose stretched in two ways , alternative bonnets , doors , no doors , short body , long body , various screens , lights etc etc.....and I haven't seen one I don't like yet...

So reading the revised ribble website, I clicked a few links and ended up here.
Just curious as to how many Sammio kits exited the moulds.
One for the historians.

Thanks Paul, appreciate that. Managed to find the Leyland colour and get a good match, thanks to a paint finisher of the 'old school' who still had all the colour charts from the 60's, 70's and 80's. The colour is officially BL BRG.
I'll post some photos of the car shortly, which also show the full chassis mounted roll bar.......which wasn't a quick job
Car No. ? I d'ont know maybe SAMMIO CHEVAUX number 2
