That information is a little outdated now. There was at least 50 RHD cars built in 1975.
The first ACG cars 1-35 (pilot build, pre-production cars) were built around May/June 75. I know I've owned 2 of them and they were both built in June 75.

Between May and October 1976 the factory was producing a lot of cars, in excess of 2000 per month.

Late '76 I would guess.

My ACG3115 was registered 14th October '76 - not sure when built though. My slightly earlier car (ACG2367) was registered 2nd August '76.
