Two things. On the subject of the second version of the car, the article says the "In later years, these cars became popular as hot rods since the late 1950s when people started drag racing them due to their light weight construction. Ironically this started in the United States but became the definitive British hot rod, which it still is today." I'm not sure what this means; it implies that the Popular was used as a hot rod in the United States, but there's nothing in the article about the car's export sales. Does it mean to say that hot rodding began in the United States in the 1950s and that the Popular then became a common hot rod in the UK? And was the car sold outside Britain? E.g. in India? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The lead says '53-'62, the infobox says '53-'59. Which is it? Huw Powell (talk) 00:54, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh never mind, sorry, the '59 is the end of the first version, I see. Huw Powell (talk) 00:56, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
