Britain had a bit of a motor industry still back then didn't it? The laws might have been protective against imports in the same way Australia's laws protect local manufacturing, in turn making importing, particularly from Europe, unfavourable.
You do see the odd Falcon or Holden around here although more often in the classifieds than on the road. And Vauxhall have been importing the top spec Commodores for a few years with a little bit of success.
