chris40 ◊ 2010-06-25 11:37	I'm not sure if they assembled them - this site is full of errors, but it does indicate that SAMAD sold the A60 in Port Elizabeth: http://www.moby302.co.za/bmc_leyland/austin.html

mazeltough ◊ 2010-10-14 08:49	chris40, with due respect, you're partially correct. SAMAD did in fact assemble Austins, but from ~1950 until the BMC factory. I once had a photo of an A40 "Devon" being assembled by National Motor Assemblies (later Rootes), so my educated guess is that SAMAD assembled the A40 "Somerset" and possibly the early A50s until BMC's own factory came on stream in Cape Town in 1955. The A60 was definitely a product of the Blackheath plant. -- Last edit: 2010-10-14 08:50:58
