Thank you Colin. Yes, the difference between the utilitaire and the standard version is that there's only 2 seats and a wooden partition wall (it's oak they say) and you can save the VAT.

Re 4-doors. Using the same James Taylor source book, this states that 4-door models had carpeted load area from the start, carpet spare wheel cover and the wheel itself secured by the strap-type fixing, although it is possible that some very early 4-doors had the cranked handle and plate fixing.
I have just noticed that this (very comprehensive) book specifically relates to carburettor models up to 1986; whether fuel injected cars had different spare wheel fixings, I don't know.
With regard to mirrors; door mounted mirrors became standard in Sept. 1978. 2 different types used, the first type was used up to chassis 59270G in 1979, then the later type. The latter normally had convex glass, although flat glass was standard in Australia, and available elsewhere.
When you look at the detail, it's surprising how many minor changes were made over time.

That's right. I bought the book at Beaulieu Museum and started to read it' but as it's in English, it takes time and I didn't saw what I searched for. Thank you Tony to help me read it!

UPDATE I found a strap! For those who are interested in early RR, here's some pictures and the page of the parts catalogue which illustrates it
