Toyota just don't bother importing the Fortuna in great numbers, and for a few grand more you may as well get a Prado.
Might be different with the new Prado being $10k-15k more expensive than the outgoing one.

Gold AU SR (I think, had the pram handle, five spoke alloys and late style grille) very well-kept in Wahroonga this morning. Looked like it was five years old.

Fiat X1/9 in Wood St Thornleigh, historic plates but possibly also original GB or Euro plates affixed for show. Bronzy colour.

One of those Smart sized electric Beemers, also in the same area, driving painfully slowly along the innermost lane of Pennant Hills Rd for kilometres.

Seen two ZK Fairlanes in two days getting about 1 white with polished '12 slotters' bit of rust in places, seen it up close stupidly didn't take a picture, 2nd light blue over silver original straight spoke alloys ( i think) was driving past so could only get a quick look yet a picture.
Just nice to see some old Fairlane's still about

A very tidy VL Berlina today, in the rain.
Older driver, maybe bought new?
The Burgundy with grey bumpers.
Only thing I saw not mint was one of the 4 headlight beams was out.

HK GTS at work, but that’s probably cheating. It’s pretty average.
