Blue car at rear is a Ford Falcon XA, XB or even XC. If I had a front view I could be more precise! |

ORANGE CAR: 1975 Mitsubishi Colt Lancer |

In NZ it was a Mitsubishi Lancer - the Colt name was not used here after the first Colts of about 1968. -- Last edit: 2010-04-19 09:59:26 |

I thought those taillights slightly were reminiscent of a Plymouth Cricket...I really thought it was a non-US variation but couldnt find a match online. This one was bugging me. I believe this was indeed related to the cricket in some way. |

The Cricket was actually British, related to the Hillman Avenger: /vehicle_74413-Hillman-Avenger-1973.html As far as I know, there was no relation to the Lancer. |

Not only related to the Avenger, it was an Avenger, simply rebadged. It was replaced in 1973 by the Mitsubishi-built Dodge Colt. |

ok, not related...but replaced by nonetheless.Wikipedia lumped the Hillman and colt together on the subheading of the cricket entry... |

I saw one of these on a recent trip to the Philippines.It was still in really good shape.I'm glad to report that there are still some of them running and looking decent. |

Red 1965+ (for eyeball vents) Mk1 Cortina bottom right - not sure about NZ assembly, but definitely in Aus. -- Last edit: 2012-01-19 18:04:39 |

Cortinas were assembled in New Zealand from '62 to '82 from Dagenham CKD kits. When the Dagenham supply ran dry in mid '82 a final batch of CKD kits were supplied by Fords Irish factory in Cork and the last New Zealand Cortina was assembled in mid'83. |
