Split_Pin Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I love these old J-Tin pickups!The Mk2 Escort Estate is the same as the MK1 from the scuttle back too, which has always seemed a bit strange to me! (Did you see the MK2 Van for sale in the E-bay tat section?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross_K Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Those first two utes definitely work for a living.I can picture their owners using them to haul dead horses to the glue factory or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Supra Twin Turbo! Is it the 280ps 2.5L version?I reckon that's a Charade Saloon too, with the rear arch like that. We did get them in the UK but they're quite rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r.welfare Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 That Commodore probably has a Nissan straight six in it, the best engine that the Commodore has ever had! Earlier ones could be bought with a 1.9L OHV four which didn't have enough power to get off the driveway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
