Hi,
one difference between the 81 and BL that comes to mind is the body.
The 81 [made in Bathurst] has lift off hood panels while the BL made
in Adelaide model has the more usual body structure of hood side doors
etc. [I think?] It is a while since I have read the articles about
each. At this rate the main difference would be knowledge of how to
gain access under the hood.

Others will probably give more details.

Cheers
Peter Cokley
