Wow thats a lot of variations.....Is this normal for what I would have thought to be a low volume model.?

I would think because the model is left hand drive, it can be sold in more markets not just the UK, so production would be at maximum capacity accounting for the number of variations. I find the Two different roof designs interesting.
