Cars that ceased British and European production and were then made elsewhere.
The Series 3 Oxford which ceased production in 1959 and went on to become the Hindustani.How long they kept the BMC engine in it I dont know.
The VW Beetle ceased in 1978 and was made in Mexico until 2003.
The Peugeot 504 ceased in 1983 and was made in Kenya until 2004.
I think the 2CV was made somewhere else after it ceased production in France.
Any more.???

I think the Hillman Hunter lived on as the Paykan in Iran until about 5 years ago.

Glas 1700,turned up in South Africa as a BMW.Also Peugeot 403,and later 404 pick ups.
Fiat 124 became Lada 1200(Yech!)
Borgward 6 limousine went to south America,don't recall the exact location.
Mercedes and Scania bonneted trucks in Brazil.
I don't know if you could count the Australian Morris Freeway.It had a 6 cylinder in the A55 body.Oz also got the Wolseley/Riley 1500 with a horrid restyle,and badged as the Morris Major.

Didn't the FIAT650 emerge from Poland with another name as well?

Fiat 125s also turned into a Lada and also a polski but was also made for some time in Egypt and argentina, about 10 years when it had seized production in italy around 1972 replaced by the 132.

Also various opels/vauxhalls became daewoos in the 90s, mazda 121 became Kia pride in the 90s as well.

The mokes were made in australia and then production resumed in portugal untill the early 90s.
