Title: How many R65s were built?
Post by: chrisr65ls on August 09, 2010, 07:04:43 PM

I'm sure its been asked before but does anyone know how many R65s and R65LSs were built?
Don't see too many R65s around where I live but have seen another 2 LSs in the area.

I think your answer is best found in this table:

It would require some effort to come up with a total, from that chart.  It seems I've seen the numbers somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it.
