Apparent 'factory' photo in Roy'Bacon's Norton Buyer's Guide of a '72 Fastback with a disc brake but silver barrels. Unfortunately it isn't possible to tell from the photo if the inlet manifolds are 30mm (standard) or 32mm (Combat unless it's a later post-Combat model as it doesn't appear to have the starter motor blanking plate?) and there's one "FB disc" (200237) on illf8ed's copy of the factory records.

Someone who has one of the these 1972 Combat Fastbacks mit disc brake has apparently been advised that 200 of them were made. Don't know who/how he got this info, but he is a member of the NOC.

There are seemingly lots of pics of them out and about...

I have a 72 Interpol that I got straight from Liverpool Police in 1978 and it has all the combat attributes 2 s cam etc., except it has the small port normal comp ratio head. It had replacement crankcases early on in its life so engine number is not recorded on log book, but the cases have the aborted electric start blanking plate so I suspect plod blew it up pretty quickly!

"Factory photos" were typically pre-production and subject to change. This is common with many, many industries, even to this day.
