You're quite right but it's a recognised brand in the UK market. It's recent advertising has 'bigged up' the British angle.
I guess replacing the Opel spark or whatever is is with a Griffon, Wyvern or whatever it is is pennies per car.
Way back in the early eighties my Uncle bought a Ford Cortina but, as was the way at the time he sourced it cheaper in the EU mainland. I can't remember whether it arrived badges as a Taunus with a Cortina badge in the glovebox or the other way round but that was what he told us.
