Most 60s Vauxhalls/Opels/Holdens were fairly similar ranges under the bodywork so did not offer anything particularly different from each other. A few years ago there was a fascinating website about Holden export territories with a surprisingly long list of strange places where they ended up, including a few LHD territories, but it vanished some time back. Interesting comment on another Greek Holden page (we have three identified examples so far Raul1983 wrote Interesting to see a Holden in Europe. I understand Greece was kind of a testing zone for many brands who were thinking of entering European markets. Some of the first Japanese cars in Europe were sold in Greece.
