How true. As luck would happen, two of the Heralds I own are "PED" cars,  
each quite unique. The 1960 Herald sedan is fully US-spec. (including a temp. 
 gauge and a fuse box that home market cars didn't have), yet it has full  
home-market-spec. lighting (down to RHD bulb-and-reflector headlamps) as it 
was  registered in Coventry and apparently remained in England for some time 
before  coming to the States! The 1962 Herald 1200 is also unique in that 
it's a CoupC),  a body style Triumph didn't sell in the US in that later 1200 
series!

And it  is still quite possible to import 60's cars from other countries.
For  example, I've seen more Vitesses than Sports 6s at some  shows.

Not too surprising, since the Vitesse sold in Canada much longer than did  
the Sports 6 in the US. Oddly, though, some later Vitesses in Canada were 
badged  with "Sports"!
