They didn't.
8-track was never a huge thing in Europe.

That's funny, but also probably true!  20 years ago I had a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V with Ford's top of the line stereo, with 8 track player.

I do so love it when people love old tech and keep it around and functioning! That's why I will always have a tube amp around, I kind of consider it technological archaeology. 

I never had an 8 track back in the day, but have very fond memories about cruising around in my best friends Ford Maverick with an under dash 8 track blasting, doing the kind of aimless driving around you do when you're young, broke, and bored. For a long time we were so poor all we had was two tapes, the deck had eaten all the others, Fleetwood Mac and Simon and Garfunkels Greatest Hits. Over and over and over...SurpriseBig Smile

I'm afraid I'm recovering from the BeoVirus. Sad
