FYI

14 Rs500's left Tickford pre aug 1987 iE pre E plate , 3 went overseas two later returning to the uk .
4 development cars were white and registered on the 1/3/1987
the remaining uk cars were registered in june-july 1987 , so on D plate ..

interestingly enough , the 2 cars that returned to the uk witch left Tickford pre aug
one was a AMT Training car , the other was a parts validation service car , were both brought back and registered on E plates .

hope this helps .
