A matt black one of these has started showing its face local to me (chesterfield).
I thought this was going to be it.
Cant be that many of these around any more?

I saw one of these, about 5 years ago, in a heated garage, in mint condition with about 45k on the clock.
Its probably still there.......
One of the best looking Japanese cars made, IMHO.

No, not many about at all, to be honest that's why I put some pics up, I was hoping to see a few more on here! I can't say I have ever seen another one in the flesh apart from mine. Wonder if the guy in the matt black one is on here too then? Think I have seen a silver one on this site before.

There are a couple on here I think but not seen any updates on them for a while.
Local black one isnt on here but he looked young so its not just the owners 'old car'.
I WILL stop him when I get a chance, seen it twice in 2 weeks so he has either just bought it, just finished fixing it, or just moved to the area.
It must be very local and in regular use.

I have one!   It's a '78 GSL. Did have a second but the rot had really set in and sourcing parts was impossible. I'm in the process of tidying mine for the summer and am modelling the rear panel on your car. Black and chrome. Saved photos from its Ebay ad about 4 years ago! Been trying to track down some similar alloys but no luck so far.  Never seen another driving around but have looked at a few for sale. Don't come up often but they are out there. Sister cars Celeste, GTO and Galant seem to be much thinner on the ground. |

I'm fortunate to have a pair, although the white one is not much more than a donor car now.   |

I think the photo must be about 4 years ago, the rust stared coming through the paintwork after about a year of ownership (typical J car) but I liked the car so after finding a metallic brown auto one in great condition I decided to use the parts off the manual one to covert the auto one.

Only just got mine on the road, brought it nearly a year ago now, ( same problem as you- I buried it at the back of the lockup) and have only had it on the road for a few weeks now, but hoping to do a few local shows with it, know they do a big J show at santa pod drag strip, which I'm toying with the idea of going, but not sure yet.
