I think JH addressed the speculation on the abbreviation of the 'C' once before. If there was an answer, I don't believe he gave it. At least I don't recall it.

"C" comes after "B".
And so it did.

I don't know why you're omitting HG. It was a legitimate, official color and abbreviation used here for many years while these units were produced for the German market.
"C" has a definite meaning that has never been announced.

This is the time to announce it, John!
Sorry, I took the urine-yellow as a joke. Should we include FUBAR too?

I am really curious about HG. How long were they made for? Dying to see a picture of one!

A urine yellow finish, huh? Like to see one of those myself.

I always assumed the "C" series stood for classic.

So does anyone have any pics & info on these mysterious 'B' models?
I had never heard of them before yesterday.
Remember, I'm in a small town in Atlantic Canada, & the only RIC advertising I've ever seen were magazine promos for the 'V' series (beautifully done, BTW) back in the early 1980's (I think).

I always considered C to mean "circa" as in circa 1963, etc.
