Were they common in the Netherlands?

AMC cars were popular in The Netherlands, especially the Javelin, Pacer and Gremlin. I'm not very sure on Matadors though.

:think: were the Javellins the hyperrare versions, assembled by Karmann?

I quote from Wiki: "1969 übernahm der Jaguar-Importeur Peter Lindner in Frankfurt-Rödelheim den AMC-Alleinvertrieb für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Das Programm umfasste die Modelle AMX, Rebel, Ambassador, Jeep und Javelin. Letzterer wurde aus Teilesätzen im Karmann-Werk in Rheine gebaut." Further info from the same source:
"Von Dezember 1968 bis Juli 1970 stellte das Unternehmen Karmann in seinem Werk in Rheine 280 Javelin aus CKD-Bausätzen her, die aus den USA geliefert wurden. Diese "Javelin 79-K" genannte Version gab es nur mit dem 5,6-Liter-Motor."
Roughly translated: From 1969 on, Jaguar-importer Peter Lindner, based in Frankfurt, was the sole German distributor of AMC cars, offering the AMX, Rebel, Ambassador, Jeep and Javelin, the latter was assembled from CKD-kits at Karmann's branch plant in Rheine. This version was called "Javelin 79-K" and only available with a 5,6 litre-engine. 280 were built between Dezember 1968 and July 1970. But I think we discussed that fact a couple of years ago when one of them showed up in an old German detective-series called "Frank Kross" or so. After all, I hoped to help here but I guess I failed.
