Those R & S Valiants were actually RHD versions of the American Valiant's indentical in every way apart from RHD and some beefing of the suspensions. The Dodge equivilants of the R & S Plymouth/Chrysler Valiants was called Dodge Lancer. The Dart name came in on the compact range of Dodges in 1963 in the USA tho the Dart name was used from the late 1950's to 1962 on intermediate sized Dodges. Another interesting departure from the American Valiant/Dart models from 1960 to 1967 and the R&S AP5,AP6 & VC Aussie cars was the American ones used 13" wheels and Australia opted for 14" .a wise move I reckon! Same size as the USA intermediates used. 14" wheels were optional on the USA Valiants/Darts as far as I know. I drove a 1964 Dart 4 door 225cid Slant 6 for a spell and it had the optional 14" ex factory on it ( options list in the build sheet in the owners manual had it ticked as such!)
