1978 Toyota Crown Super Saloon review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great luxury economical car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front two electric windows stopped working.
Hand brake light was permanently on.
General comments?
It was a great car ahead of its time though. Handled well and very economical, but lacked in power. Top speed of 120 km per hour.
