Rambler Ambassadors were exported in limited numbers to the United Kingdom in factory right-hand-drive direct from AMC during the 1960s and up to its final year of 1974. They were imported by Rambler Motors (A.M.C) Ltd of Chiswick in West London which became a subsidiary of AMC in 1961. The location had previously been used since 1926 for British assembly of Hudson, Essex, and Terraplane vehicles. Prior to 1961 AMC vehicles were imported into the U.K by Nash Concessionaires which was the former importer of pre-AMC Nash and post-AMC Rambler vehicles.
