With respect, this is not exactly true. While probably all auto companies seeking sales in the US were bound to fit split circuit systems, there were many other markets (more than one hundred) which did not specify split circuits and, as such, cars going to them still had single circuits for quite a number of years into the seventies. It’s also important to remember that as far as UK car exports were concerned, sports cars overall accounted for only about 25% of total output. Firms like Morgan and TVR being the exception to this rule.
