I thought Pony was just the precursor to the Excel. They both resembled eachother quite a bit. The Excel was Mitsubishi (Precis) based, and I suspect Pony was too. There were quite a few of the Pony in Hong Kong. Hong Kong gets a lot of Asia market AND stuff that was UK bound. Dunno about that these days after Handover in 1997.

HK had so many Philco and Phillips TV sets...as well as the usual Sony sets and a whole BUNCH of funny little Chinese cheap sets. Dunno why...but hardly ever saw REAL old tube sets except the few Philco sets my Dad had, as well as "Grundig" radios.

It's almost like TV never caught on in Hong Kong until at least the 60s.
