A cheap piece of Australian automotive history, slowly creeping up in price, but it isn't about money, its about showing what wind up windows were and no power steering.

Nice example, My brother 2 door sport model with 5 speed manual in silver and was a pretty good looking car for the time.

But it did amaze me how long these Australian examples kept running carby E5 engines when the E5F was available in japan with EFI.

to put in perspective My jap import AE86 was the same year and had the 4AGE
Toyota Australia was selling sprinters with the same chassis also with carby engines?
