Robi ◊ 2011-12-14 13:56	Were these Opels imported second-hand to Hong Kong or were they bought new (in this case in 1956)?
Ingo ◊ 2011-12-14 20:28	They were officially sold as new cars in HK and J. IIRC other movies, listed here, also in Thailand and Indonesia. The export to Japan stopped sometimes in the last 5 years or so. My Japanese friend Hiroshi has told me that. I don't know, if the export to the other Asian countries is still running. Rather not, as all Opels there, we have here, are from the 60ies, nothing newer. -- Last edit: 2011-12-14 20:29:49
