Does anyone have an overview of how many factory red rose 4.5 were actually made?

Was the red rose option the final version of the AJP 4.5?

Thanks

The Red Rose was an option from approx 2001 (from memory). There are some earlier cars that had this retro fitted (if you are paying for a full rebuild it doesnt add that much to the cost).
It was still an option for the last cars.
When I was paying for one of my rebuilds APM and I discussed whether to go for Red Rose. It was a Power rebuild (this was before Andy rebuilt them himself). Power wouldnt (hope I remember this right!) guarantee the headwork as they were concerned that it could damage the heads. So I decided not to take the risk and went with a standard rebuild.
