I've been asked to collect some basic info on our marque; and I'm embarrassed to say I forgot so much!

Can anybody give me the quick rundown again?

How many came to the US, how many made, etc...

So sorry to ask this basic stuff, but I want to get it right!

Lot's of incorrect data out there. Morgan says 12,776 total produced.

I can speak to North American models (US and Canada) as I have full databases for the coupes and cabs. 2,234 coupes produced and 2,008 cabs for model years 1992-1995.

too many cabs imo. i've had a suspicion some of the cabs were intended to be favorite daughter's graduation presents and wifey cars (just a theory).... but still wish they had made a few more coupes. they're getting scarce.

I've been told that numerous times but so far I'm safe but based on all the money I'm making with it I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
