I now know of two early 3000Ms and an 1800s - Is that all?

There were 10 1800S Coupes - extra cooling for engine and driver. One of those came to the first trackday we did at Guadix in 2004, having been saved from a scrappie in 1981 and rebuilt with no references

Don't know about the targas - which model?

I have a 1972 'M', it left the factory minus its engine and gearbox and went to Barnet Motor Company to be fitted with a 3.5 Rover V8, after 13 owners and who knows how many engines it now has a 4.6 Rover V8. I took it over to Spain early this year from the UK, and it is now in the Granada region.

That's four X 1800S in Spain as the one I know about isn't on the list

40% is not a bad survival rate
