Hi guys, I am looking for a Toyota CROWN Super Saloon. I remember my parent's friends getting a new one between 1979 and 1980. I thought this was the best car ever! I have not been able to find one to restore so I'm asking for your help. I have seen the later ones but not the model with twin headlights. Any help would be great. Cheers.

Like this?: Weren't these built before 1979 - as I thought the 1979 model had the single square headlights? Welcome btw.

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

This is going to get into the eccentricities of J-model numbers and different country specs I think,.. But this is an S110 model which is the years your after : However that is JDM spec with the single large headlight (plus the little one next to it). In Europe I think they were different, as I found one on a German site with the two even sized square headlights: You can find a bit of history here : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_CROWN

Hmm, i think its the sort of car where you've gotta 'stake it out', one will doubtless turn up eventually but you'll have to be patient and be ready to fight off the banger boys!
