Most were sold thru Austin/MG dealerships although some of those
dealerships carried other makes of cars.
I know Volvo was sold at the local Triumph dealer where I bought my
Spitfire back in 73.
And my local MG dealer was a Pontiac dealership also.
In the next County, we had a Lotus, Jaguar, Rover, MG and Austin Healey
dealer.
