Here in Britain we had almost all our TV market to ourselves as no other countries set makers could be bothered to make 405 lines sets, the only one AFAIK was Sony. This changed in the early 70's when we went over to 625 lines when everyone & their dog started exporting TV's to us. Some were tweaked to work in the UK by having the sound carrier frequency increased to 6 Mhz & the VHF tuner removed, on my parents Sony KV1800 there was a blanking plate where the VHF tuner should have been. Don't know what the last British made TV set was...
