    The point about after sales is very important. There is a parallel with the Morris Minor and VW Beetle, both of which were exported in large numbers to the USA. The Beetle took off and became the more popular car partly because Morris & later BMC, had nowhere near the same level of dealer support in the USA as VW.

    I like them. They look very Continental. Which they should, being built in Spain.

    Yeah. Crompton's could shift. Not spectacularly, but once they got up to 80+ they stayed there.
