I know the CKD cars in Holland (or The Netherlands, if we're being particular as Holland is only a region in NL), were all assembled by a company in Amersfoort called J.J. Molenaar or just Molenaar. They also assembled MG's and other Austin and Morris offerings. I'm sure there will be people in NL who will know more, potentially chassis numbers. Maybe Kees (UHR850) will know?

richard ACS, Mini's were assembled in NZ, but no Cooper's or S's. They were all imported built up, from firstly the UK, then quite a few came from Australia.

That's why the 1976 Cortina/Taunus Mark 4 and Cavalier/Ascona were standardised and near enough the same for a few thousand RHD cars to be built on the double.

Seneffe built a LOT of Minis and Aggros.

Are you going to Blyton Richard?
Unfortunately won't be going to Blyton, a childhood pal is arriving tomorrow from Aus and its the only day we can find to meet up. I've never been to Blyton having spent lincs track time at Cadwell. I'm however looking forward to seeing the Blyton track....
