I believe that InterTan did the UK, their UK offices where only 20ish 
miles up the road in Birmingham :)

I have several PAL / 240V CoCo 1s (grey case), and also the CoCo 1 
shaped machine with the white case (also PAL).

So I'd say that at least in the UK they where being sold in the CoCo 1 era.

Strangely I don't think they ever marketed the CoCo 3 here, though the 
but do remember the CoCo 2 and the MC10 being on sale and considered 
rather expensive at the time compared to Dragons and other UK computers.

Cheers.
