Down to Earth

Hi all
I'm guessing this has been done before, but I can't find anything via "Search" So apologies up front!
It's entirely possible that could be dreaming, but I'm fairly certain that I read somewhere that UK cars did not move from Pos earth at the same time as the USA Cars. Also my 1974 (CB) MGB was twin 6V batteries/Generator/Positive earth. I say "was" beacuse I understand that changes where made during the restoration, it's now single 12V/altenator/Neg earth.
So, my plea is, can anyone please point me to a definitive source that clarifies when UK cars moved from Pos to Neg Earth. I am 100% sure that for the USA cars it was 1968, but I'm pretty sure that here in Blighly, we stuck with Pos Earth for a few years longer.
Thanks in advance.
