The Isuzu Mu and Wizard were themselves derived from the Isuzu TF pickup which was also sold in Europe as the Opel Campo and Vauxhall Brava.

Don't forget it was also badged as a Honda passport.
Quite a funny little dig at the "quality badge" brigade.

That's wierd as Opel/Vauxhall didn't design the Frontera - it's an Isuzu Mu (3-door) or Wizard (5-door) built at the former Bedford truck factory in Luton under licence for sale in Europe and Australia as Opel/Vauxhall/Holden Frontera - but using a wide variety of Opel/Vauxhall engines.
The Isuzu Mu and Wizard were themselves derived from the Isuzu TF pickup which was also sold in Europe as the Opel Campo and Vauxhall Brava.

Don't doubt it Roger....I only passed on what he said......by the way he had a Range Rover on Irish plates!
