A very good question.........well three very good questions to be precise ;D
The combined Dutton/Eagle production figures is stated to be 1500 units but there's no information in my files as to how this is split between the two manufacturers. Without a doubt the majority would have been with Tim Dutton.
The moulds seem to have dropped out of sight but its worth speaking to Tim Naylor, (Eagleone on this site), to see if he took the moulds with the rest of the Eagle package, (SS and RV).
Although the car was a bit of an ugly duckling it was a lot of fun to drive and given today's penchant for the Lotus 7 style 2 seater I reckon there is still a market for the P21 if pitched at the right price.

OK, so this is a very old subject and so am I, and my P21. There are a minimum of two RHD P21/23s in France with French plates, plus my black LHD "Batmobile" FB-317-BW and ER-004-HA, both were up for sale some time ago. If you Google "Dutton eagle cars" in English, French, German etc, things can come up.
My P21 started life in 1992 as Q370VAB in Somerset with a Mr Stanford in attendance.
Cheers to all.
