Hi Keith

Because Holden were a GM subsidiary there would have been no need for a licence. I would simply have been a matter of saving shipping space and the fact they had the capacity for production here. The chassis, engine and running gear were all imported from Canada.
So which great character was showing you? Almost all CMP enthusiasts fit that description! There's even a certain Swiss CMP-er with a lot of knowledge about such things as sunshine roofs.

... thank you Keefy, but my knowledge about CMPs and sunshine roofs is rather poor. Still waiting for the "Blitz Bible" to look everything up someone would have to know about CMPs.
