=== 2. CPC472 with British Keyboard ===
Faked 72K RAM to bypass the '''Import Tax on models with 64K or less RAM'''. These units included a '''CPC664''' ROM (40022) (that is, not '''CPC464''' ROM), thus supporting [[Locomotive BASIC]] 1.1 - the spanish manual claimed that the extra 8K would be required for BASIC 1.1 - this was total nonsense, but it "explained" why users didn't have access to the extra memory: it was "reserved" for BASIC.
=== 3. CPC472 with Spanish Keyboard ===
After another law added '''Spanish Keyboard Requirement''', the CPC472 was fitted with spanish keyboard, and spanish CPC464 ROM (40037). But still including the 72K daughterboard.
=== 4. CPC464 with Spanish Keyboard ===
The 64K-related '''Import Tax was dropped when spain joined the EEC''', and so, the fake 72K project was discontinued, and the CPC464 was re-invented. But now having spanish CPC464 ROM (40037) and spanish keyboard.
