Red Mark 7 convertibles

Just a thought. Are these the same car twenty or so years apart?

No they are not. The bottom one is my brothers car which he still has. It used to belong to a bloke with the last name of Cox in Victoria.( I can't think of his first name) When my brother bought it, it was still a coupe until about 17 years ago when it got a clobbered in the rear passenger side. When it was being repaired my brother had it converted to a sports. There should be a couple of pics of it as a coupe on the cd I sent you. It used to have cut down Toyota Corona Mk2 tailights. They were a long thin light which almost met each other in the middle on the Mk7.

do you have any rear pics of Peter S's Sth Aussie Mk 7 with the full width Crown tai lights?

"Coxy" was the originator of the "PITA" awards at Easter.
That's a good point, Colin. Those slightly later Crown tail lights were smart looking units and worth showing to everyone who hasn't seen them. I'll see what I can dig out. Incidentally, I was down in Adelaide yesterday and saw an immaculately restored Toyota Crown that very model on Payneham Road, a rare sight these days.
