1st impression Galant Sigma, 2nd Subaru, but the hood is wrong for both of them.![]() ![]() -- Last edit: 2016-11-20 22:33:19 |

Fiat 132 ? |
◊ 2016-11-20 22:38 |
Nope (and nor Argenta). |

Something Japanese. I was thinking about Mitsubishi Galant but it doesn't match. |

I first thought about a Subaru, but it's too big for that. Maybe a Toyota Cressida ? http://www.toyotaoldies.de/galx6.html |

Mitsubishi Galant Sigma? |

Sigma and Subaru were also my 1st ideas - see my 1st comment below main pic. Here, on the right a little of the rear is visible: |

Renault 18 or Fuego? Maybe with a damaged headlight. -- Last edit: 2016-11-21 18:16:14 |

For R18 it has different hood and edges of the windows (and perhaps different type of roof assembly). I'm not convinced by Cressida - it looks that car in movie has metal bumpers with plasitc side edges. How about Datsun Skyline, like this one? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nissan_Skyline_C211_2000_GT-EL_001.jpg Still not a perfect match + was the version with squared headlamps imported to Europe? -- Last edit: 2016-11-21 20:04:22 |

Was the Datsun Skyline exported to Europe at all? |
◊ 2016-11-21 20:13 |
Yes. |

Galant seems like the best suggestion so far.![]() |

In Galant hood has only one crease in the middle, the car in movie has different hood - the best visible in the 2nd thumb - 1st comment. |

Unless that is a reflection of a pole or cable or something above it. |

A pole or a Pole? ![]() |

![]() Seriously, you cannot see the right crease very well, just the one on the left, so I'm assuming it is a shadow. -- Last edit: 2016-11-21 20:59:47 |

The right crease is visible on the main pic. ![]() The edges of windows where roof meets the A pillar are also different. One more thing, the white "squared headlamps Galant" is a later version with bumper of different type than in movie car. More similar would be this pre-facelifted car: /vehicle_771650-Mitsubishi-Galant-Sigma-A123-1979.html but still it doesn't cancel the important differences mentioned above. |

Spot on, as far as I am concerned. https://cache1.pakwheels.com/ad_pictures/400/toyota-cressida-1981-4001999.jpg -- Last edit: 2016-11-24 09:37:10 |

This pic is indeed convincing. I'm only curious when did they have such bumpers, as on IMCDb and among Google results all 1981 Cressidas seem to have full plastic ones... |

Old spare parts diagrams show the Cressida was indeed available with steel bumpers. Link to "www.japan-parts.eu" |
