I'm not sure of the total for all the colors ,the 5 number was quoted
to me for the white tank V-700. Of course I'm not sure of that number
either. I think Mark can be pretty sure there were indeed V-700s other
than the red ones in any event. Even the Mick Walker book mentions the
'68 V-700 in other colors. His book being much smaller in size is far
less suitable for beating people over the head.(For those so inclined )

couple more on the East Coast, and four are shown in the book being
delivered to the Atlanta PD.

 From what I understand SOME = a total of 5 of them. These were just
before the early Ambos. I passed on one of the early Ambos at VMD this
year. The guy had a photo of it but did not bring it along.He only
wanted $600 for it and it had a VERY low serial number (one digit!).
