Project Bullet
2 March 1973
Minutes from the Jaguar and Rover Triumph Advisory Board
The latest Bullet programme analysis showed it would not be possible to obtain adequate supplies of components off production tooling in time for Method Build in October 1973 . There is an indication there may be a conflict of interest at Cowley producing tooling for Triumph and Austin Morris . The chairman asked for it to be looked into to ensure this was not a problem for SD1 .
