130rapid ◊ 2022-01-11 10:50	Yes, set in Barbados.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2022-01-11 10:54	Someone once posted a Holden advertisement from the 1960s boasting about all the countries they exported to.
dsl ◊ 2022-01-11 15:48	The original link with advert vanished a few years ago, but have found an excellent account here with a list of 71 export destinations in 1969, including Barbados. That source page is a superb goldmine of export Holden nuggets - full of intriguing surprises such as the 1971 proposal to sell Statesman in UK which probably solves this enigma and a cancelled 1993 project to fit the Commodore with a Saab 2.3 Turbo for Asian markets.
