Hi Keith
Because Holden were a GM subsidiary there would have been no need for a licence. I would simply have been a matter of saving shipping space and the fact they had the capacity for production here. The chassis, engine and running gear were all imported from Canada.
So which great character was showing you? Almost all CMP enthusiasts fit that description! There's even a certain Swiss CMP-er with a lot of knowledge about such things as sunshine roofs.
