I have no idea but my late wife's uncle (deceased) had several Minors exported to Malaysia where at that time he was working.

Those are cool pics, do you still have the car or know of its history. The current keeper would love a copy of them.

The car was taken to Penang, Malaysia in 1961. I do not know if it is still around - to my knowledge it never left Malaysia after arriving there.
My late wife's uncle exported several Minors to Penang Malaysia.
Here is another couple of photos taken in March 1955 of his then current Minor taken in Waterfall Park Penang[frame]Image[/frame]
