Not sure that the the 970's were ever an official import; I suspect not. I have a 970 but that was an import from NZ where I do know that they were imported from the UK. |

an early issue of TME had some details of the official BMC imports for race use, otherwise they're all private imports |

Below is part of a page from BMC's Partner magazine #22 - Oct/Nov 1965 detailing major design changes to the A series gearbox. You'll see in the narrative a reference to 1071 models imported to Australia.

I know there is a red 1071 in Melbourne that has competed at rob roy. I doubt there would be more than 4 or 5 left in Australia. |

Wow, only 13 1071's came to Australia by BMC! There must have been some truth to needing a race licence to order one. |
