Default 6 cyl Gaskets (head)

Toby told me that it takes more than 2000 hours to build a Fighter
3 a week mean 6000 hours and if they work 8 hours a day , this means 750
persons are working in Filton .

3 a week is probably peak capacity for all the different types
(new v8's, series 6's, restorations and Fighters) in total.

This also means that they are selling about 120 Fighter a year , @ about
£220000 each , it is £26.400.000 GBP a year

I'm sure they are keeping below 100 per year to avoid all the
onerous type approval procedures volume manufacturers have to
go through.
