Commando Combat
1972
Came with "2S" cam, shaved head to increase the compression, and was made in both Roadster and Interstate form. Early on there were engine failures which quickly gave the Combat a bad name. Even though those problems were rectified, the press was so bad that the name was discontinued later in the year.[ 1]
Commando "Combat"
1973
Officially, there was no 1973 Combat, but the engine was still available. This is still confusing today as some parts manufacturers list a 73 Combat, meaning the high compression engine.[ 1]
Commando "John Player Special"
1974
Limited production 850 styled on the John Player racers
