The Motor and Autocar magazines used to run articles whenever a new Holden was announced, and they both reviewed the 48/215. They published a complete test done by the Brisbane Sunday Mail's motoring editor, Roy Bulcock, which was obviously seen through Australian eyes. Here is a story done in 1951 that appeared in the Autocar when they reviewed a Singer, the Holden and then a Bristol. This is a style of writing that would never have appeared here, but the readership of motoring magazines were made up of those who could afford new cars - Britain's social system would be very middle class. There is a slight condescending feel to this, but I tend to think they looked very favourably on the Holden. Bill Morris, (later Lord Nuffield) had one of the first 48/215s imported to the UK so his engineers could assess it. The verdict was that it was exactly the sort of car they should be building, but the merger with Austin put an end to that idea.... I wonder how long JBM 484 lasted in Britain's climate. Knowing their propensity to rust in our conditions, a couple of winters on salted roads would have seen it in a breakers yard.
