Yes, I am also sure that both the 406 Jones and 407 Park Royal are
true, it is just that I could not find out any information about the
Jones contract and when I asked LJKS in 1980, he was sure of these
facts, but uncertain at that time of the source. As he then repeated
this information in his later book, I assume that he had found his
sources.

It is nice to have Richard confirm the Lotus Elite information - I
unearthed some references to this with the Volvo/Rootes information I
posted before, but had not previously realized that Bristol had been
involved and a Lotus chum assured me that it was unlikely to be true.
I shall enjoy enlightening him as he does not have a high opinion of
Bristol after the 403!
