Thanks Chris. I'll contact you when I pick this one up. I remember
talking to John Oland in Edmonton about it and he was under the
impression less than 800 SIIs were brought into Canada so this aroused
my curiosity.

Emile,
The REOC has most of the shipping records up to 1B 2121. There were
another 79 SII's built after that at Westwood. Subsequently a few were
built up from spares. So, over 1200 SII's were built, plus the engines
for Clymer's Indian Enfield, most of which ended up in Rickman frames.
I do not know where they were shipped to.. I have recorded serial
numbers of 82 surviving SII's worldwide (2 of them mine). There must
be many more. More info has just been posted to the
RE_Inte-@yahoogroups.com forum in response to another query.
I have an ongoing quest to tally as many Interceptors by serial numbers
as I can, in an attempt to guess at how many survive. All contributions
of numbers gratefully received.

Does anyone know how many MKII Interceptors were brought into Canada
around 1969/70? I'm looking at picking up a '69 or '70 model and am
curious how many of them were imported. I'm also curious, but less so,
about how many were brought into the US market at the time.
Emile.
