Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-03-14 17:50	Sorry, the picture is in Uruguay.
DynaMike ◊ 2010-03-14 18:04	AH, thanks Gomselmash11. Maybe CIDASA exported to Uruguay? Or was there a local assembly plant?
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-03-14 19:19	Made in Argentina, but SIAM have a plant in Uruguay (i don't know CIDASA before). Surely exports to Uruguay, but is difficult to know, since there is not much information. Furthermore, the Uruguayan automobile web, is not listed this car as done in that country. The image is in Montevideo, is apparently an embassy which appears as background
DynaMike ◊ 2010-03-14 19:28	So until other info best to list it as origin UK, built in RA, made for U, right?
Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-03-14 19:53	Yes, right. This is a montevidean typicall taxi of the 70's.
