Any idea why these have been swapped between the 2 garages, especially as the Burton's Gemini's were branded for the 1.

Burtons are at Derby because they're unreliable.

The B7s have been sent to Derby for work on the gearboxes if my understanding is correct.

Burton should get them back once Derby has paid for the work to be done!
