Overhere in the Netherlands British cars sold well in the sixties and fifties.
We loved their 12 volt system that ensured starting on cold mornings, their rugged, but simple and relyable engines, their elegant design and their luxury interiors, with leather, wood and carpets.
I was given one of these in 1968, actually a Morris Oxford, to run-in by my company when it had 20 miles on the clock before it was released to the fleet. I was 17 at the time. It smelt lovely with the new leather seats. Even then it was an old fashioned design and well behind the Fords of the day.
Yes, here are sold, first as Siam Di Tella 1500 (1960 to 1963), then change its name to Morris 1650, Magnette 1650 and Riley 1650, by the year of manufactured until 1967. The 404 and 1500 came in 65 '. Sincerely!

But in the seventies things went horribly wrong.

dardotdm850 theough my spanish is nil I get that
they were sold as the Magnette 1650 in Argentina,
and as you maybe know there were three other british cars,
Morris, Oxford and Riley plus two other european cars
with close kinship (Farina draw them all) namely the
Peugeot 404 and the Fiat 1300/1500.
