I wonder what happened to the other 625 that were imported by GMH?

Ah the old days - lots of giveaways, and Sale Of The Century champions!
(Of which one was recently to be put on the market - until the SOTC winner heard the expected sale price. It's an immac red auto.)

Yeah - but I think that has since been shot to death....

GMH shipped in 2 lots of Piazzas (they forgot to cancel the 2nd order, hence all the giveaways and national courtesy cars).

Many reckon the order was 200 (for the first, thus too then second) apparently based on some figure GMH gave....

According to Isuzu Japan, each order was for 350.

But given either number, there were this 400-700 imported by GMH (1986 4zc1 turbo).

There was a Piazza for sale recently which I thought was from inner city (Clifton Hill) but proved to be Roweville.
I parked next to another last week at Greensborough shopping centre.
I have 2. Other non-Forum acquaintances 2.

I don't see many - probably now only a few a year on the road...

Yeah very true... I reckon if I would have to guess, 70-80 (Complete Piazzas) are left in oz.

That's sounding good - not only unanimous, but all survey respondents have been correct so far.

Good to see you're correct as usual Chris!

Only, I mean, all 2?
Stop being pedantic. You can trust what I say - I never lie. (Or so says I as I write....)

Alas I never ordered any Isuzu badges.... That was in the basket with twincam gaskets & cam bearings, Jap Piazza spoiler kits etc.
Since then I believe one source has gotten rid of everything....

And I don't want to try my elite Isuzu Guru until I have everything together. (EG - G-W cam shell sets ordered in final quantity; ditto for any other sparts; and deposits of at least 50% if not fully pre-paid.)

Who knows - I might even get copies of various Isuzu evidence (or proof?) of things like Piazza imports by GMH, the retarded GMH Piazza specs, chassis numbers for certain DOHC Belletts, etc. Then again, I'd hate to be the one to kill the lively discussions.... meaningful stimulous is so hard to find these days .... :banghead:
