Gordon,
I think you're thinking of Minis. There were only about 500,000 Bs made.
Although in production a long time they had lots of competition back then
and the later cars didn't sell well.
I remember reading an article in a Miata magazine about how the Miata
outsold the B and it was a 500,000 or so figure.
Mike
