As the link above states, this car seems to be a 4-cylinder 2nd gen in European-spec "Sigma" specification, ie. It has framed doors & rear quarter windows like the Australian built cars, but it also has the Jap-spec Diamante/chrome grille front end + KS Verada rear.

N.B. The car is located in Malaysia

Has high gloss woodgrain but is manual transmission. Gear boot looks like the 1st Gen or late '80's Galant ones, with the ribbed style, not the baggy manual gear boot of the TR/TS that we are used to. First time I've seen this. Maybe this car is a manual conversion, I don't know

Most surprisingly there seems to be a 4-cyl turbo under the hood.

Now to my knowledge, I thought that apart from the Australian Astrons, all 2nd gens were 6-cylinder.

Certainly an interesting car, for those few of us who are still 2nd-Gen savvy

It says in the description:


- Just install VR4 Intercooler Turbo (Buy Halfcut)

Looks like it's been converted. What it's been converted from though (V6 or I4) is unclear.

I would say they have used the gearbox from the vr4 aswell coz that gear stick knob and boot look the same as my old Galants.
