There were always a few around Christchurch ''back in the day''. A relative got one new for taxi use but I think it proved to be too thirsty/unreliable.
I sometimes saw a pickup Pilot with a matching trailer that an old guy [ me too] used for gardening work. Often saw him at the dump offloading [ I am in the same game] but never since the ChCh Earthquakes from late 2010.
I can find no reference to Pilots having been exported to Nth America ; I think they banged out a pre War model because it was easy to sell in car starved Commonwealth Countries.
Ford Dagenham did export other small English Fords to Canada & also to the US for Ford buyers seeking a small economical car. The Pilot would have been laughed off the lot if it had of appeared against the post War US autos.?
