Either Thursday or Friday I saw a black one (President) on a tow truck on the northbound. Can't remember exactly, but it was either just around that Sando Tech flyover or just before Claxton Bay flyover.

Damn! And still no word on the two 300cs, shucks! I remember years ago, still in school uniform at a career open house talking to someone from then Neal and Massy, asking them why they didn't bring the 300c after how well the 280c sold, instead of the Laurel as in my opinion that was too close in size, looks and features to the Cressida and would have been more suited as their answer for that range. He condescendingly responded that they were convinced that the Laurel was a suitable top level replacement and that no one would be interested in the 300c anyway because of price and expected the Super and Royal Saloons from Toyota to not sell well. Say what.

A "PZ" registered Hunter should have the rectangular headlights. Cortina rims not looking too bad on it.

ohh guuud.... loook thais original embelishers as well? Original engine? auto? those were sooo cool... except for the door handles inside that cud stab you if not operated right......wow.... looks like the owner tried to keep the original color as well....

WASA used to give the sedan versions of these as company cars to it's junior engineers waaaaay back in the day...

Square light or round lights in front Calor?




I checked out this car in February . It looked pretty good with the exceptions of two problems.

1. The owner has died so its a bit complicated to get it transferred .
2. The left side looks like it got a hard lash. Not sure if chassis is bent..

saw this car yesterday
It's now in tobago, and HOLY FK is it rotten and covered in filler
pretty car but such a sad state



That car I believe is a fiat.

The owner had two.
It used to be on the old road. Until a guy from Santa Cruz bought the two. He got one driving and eventually sold them . The last I saw one of them was at the v8 boys show.
