1980 LHD Ghia in Japan

[poindextrose15]

Hello from Japan,
After 9 years of living out here, I came across this white 1980 Ghia coupe that was imported by Ford Japan. It only has 70k km and the 255 is quite smooth and starts first try everytime.

I bought it sight unseen from a dealers auction on the other side of the country. Old cars and American cars are a bit more difficult to transport, so the transport costs to get it to me were more than what I paid for the car. I wanted to drive it from the auction, but at a 16 hour drive it was better not to risk it.

From the door card decoder, I found that it seems to be all original. It was repainted but I'm not sure how accurate the shade of white is on the respray. Polar white with Carriage roof, Medium red interior, 255 with C4, 2.26:1 rear end.

Interesting how they added additional amber turn signals to the rear, they also had to add an exhaust temp light to the dash.
