Think you're right. The last Brit Brit was withdrawn from use at the end of 1970 but 2 of them (G-ANBE and G-ANBL) waited until July 1972 before being scrapped. Invicta Vanguards operated May 1971-Oct 1975. Donaldson Brits were regular on maintenance from Dec 1970-Dec 1972. Car registrations starting with the letter J were issued from 1/8/70. All fits 1971/72 ! Missed the programme, though, might find it on catchup.
