History
In 1959, the first Toyota model, a Land Cruiser, was exported to South Africa, followed two years later by ten units of the Stout.[2][3]
Production of Toyota models at Motor Assemblies began in 1962[2] or 1963.[3] At the end of 1964, the sales organisation Toyota SA, which had been founded three years earlier, took over the majority of Motor Assemblies.
