I know one thing for sure. There were only three RHD dalmation blue cars and when I owned one of them in the mid 90's all three still existed.
I don't know if they do now because my old car had a bit of misfortune not long after I sold it in North Africa of all places. That's what I heard anyway

According to Josh Sadler, 103 were made RHD in 1973, of which 93 came to the UK.

David Gilhooley of the PCGB mentioned to me that 53 were known to the PCGB 2.7RS register as of 2003 - but I know of two cars that have 'surfaced' from Japan that weren't on his list.

If I had to guess, it's somewhere around 60ish RHD's still in existence?

That figure refers to the Touring (M472) version - there were also 17 RHD 'Lightweight' (M471) models...
