History of Mitsubishi with W.R. Phillips

In 1946 the Company was appointed a Todd Motors dealer for Taranaki selling and servicing the Rootes Group product from Britiam, Hillan/Sunbeam vehicles, Commer and Karrier, Chrysler and DeSoto trucks and David Brown tractors. In 1953, Humber vehicles replaced the Hillman brand.

In 1971 Todd Motors secured the Mitsubishi Motors franchise for New Zealand and in the same year, W.R. Phillips New Plymouth was appointed a Mitsubishi dealer.

In 1987 Todd Motors sold their New Zealand interests to Mitsubishi Corporation and W.R. Phillips became an exclusive Mitsubishi Dealer.

To date W.R. Phillips Mitsubishi Taranaki is one of Mitsubishi New Zealand's oldest dealerships.
