A -Spec Cars

It would be more accurate to describe these cars as Basic, rather than A-Spec, to avoid confusion with dates of production, chassis modifications and so on. In this case, including the 6 prototype chassis, 1924 Basic cars were produced, although after April 1961, every car which left the factory had B-Spec upgrades.
