There was an ITT clone of the IIe marketed in the UK for many years
and a singleboard teaching computer called the Micro-professor that
could be expanded to be A2 compatable. I have seen both from time to
time at amateur radio swap meets in the UK.
Apples where always very expensive in Europe because you could only
buy them though acredited resellers. I suspect that by the time the
cloners started to think about Europe the BBC micro was firmly
established in the UK. I also suspect they did better in Germany
because there was no indiginous competition and a large user base
amongst the families of GIs stationed there.
