Hey there guys and dolls here is another one off my cars its a 1986 holden a word i dont like piazza, which is an isuzu product but sold through the Holden Dealers here in 1986/87.
Its red in colour, auto trans, im not sure why most of my piazza are auto but they must have sold a few in automatic, turbo 2.0 litre engine EFi, its lowered with a set of small 14" wheels with 205/60 14" tyres but im going to up grade to 15" soon, simmons would be nice to fine a set of them. good car to drive.

I remember when I was a kid I saw a Piazza with an Isuzu backing plate like that one and thought "oh, right, there you go".

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd end up with 5 Isuzu-badged cars (6 if you include a non-running shell) along with two Holden-Isuzus (Gemini and Rodeo, although Rodeo's gonna go).

Always thought I would own Holdens forever. Kingers, EH's, Toranas. I still love all those cars, but there are plenty of other Holden-lovers who will look after them. One less Isuzu enthusiast means another bunch of Isuzus on a market that only just supports the amount of cars that are being traded between owners... a situation that was probably even worse in the '70s and '80s when you probably couldn't sell a Bellett for a hole in a donut.

So what I'm saying is that your car is awesome and if I had a spare garage and a few grand, I wouldn't mind owning it (but it's gotta be manual).

Cheers thanks for sharing your Holden, er, ah Isuzu Piazzas!

Cheers,

Dave
