What a pleasent surprise to see your reactions. I'm Fred's daughter, but I told him to go and see all the positive comments on the post.
Photos of his other Isuzu Florian restauration will be posted within short notice.
Thanks Dave for the suggestion. I hope he will read it soon. How nice to get in contact with other Isuzu lovers.

you need to be very careful, Nathalie it has been know that children of Isuzu owners have caught the "bug" and end up with most of the collection and driving them to shows and other places as the parents grow too old to drive them! but Dad sure is still in there with such a nice job on the Red Florian. these cars are even more rare in europe and the USA. We had Dealers here is Aus that sold quite a lot of them so not nearly as hard to find. hope you enjoy the forum OZ

Don't believe everything OZ_TOFFA says!!!
They used to be kind of common here, but now they're pretty hard to find.
I'm a bit younger than him and can only remember seeing about 3 of them on the road, including mine!!!
Now I know the whereabouts of only 3 cars in South Australia... mine, Mr Flibbles' and another guys (username Hillsy... he doesn't get on here).
I was given a free one last year, but it had more rust than metal!! I took all the parts and scrapped it... I didn't want to!
Cheers,
Dave

I agree with dave, they are few and far between now, not like when i was younger and had 4 florians in mums driveway in salisbury! I am sure that there are a few hiding in sheds around the place, just havent found them yet! Alot of the older folk seem to remember someone having one and that they were a decent car for the time. Unfortunately we only got the early ones before the chev luv front, I would like one of every update myself and a florian wagon as well. It is great to see them pop up in all sorts of places and get shown some love.

yeah Dave is right! Dont want to believe much of what goes on here at all.... read between the line and at least 31% is true. its a bit like fishing. the story changes every time it is told photos are a little more believable but it is all in good fun and sure is a lot of good technical info and parts support found here hope you enjoy it all OZ

Perfect plan to come to Australia some time. Hopefully with the Florian. Is there a website maybe where we can get information of the car shows? Actually my dad named me after Isuzu. My full name is Nathalie Sheena Isuzu As promised, below you find pictures of the other Florian that's been restored. We have better pictures, but they're on an other computer. I'll post them some other time. Great to get in contact with other Isuzu lovers.

Hey Gricey; I dunno man; there would have to be less than 20 on the road, surely and the same again in relatively OK condition, but hidden away.
