IIRC Motorola UK set up their own factory in about 1974/75. From then onwards there was no connection between them and Radiomobile, though the latter still had an association with Sydney Bird, using Bird tuners (not very good IMHO) in their 1070XB model. The radios you were involved with, Wanderer, were the likes of 717/818, 727/828 (RDM970/980), the 125X(RDM70X) and possibly others.
