RushCars24ID ◊ 2025-07-26 13:59	Not F20, called the Taft here in Indonesia (Made for RI, imported from Japan but specs were differed than the source country, no local assembly here). That's the facelifted diesel-only model by the front fascia, 1979-1984 [F50]. The F20 is a 1.6-litre 12R-J gasoline model, which generally, that engine (along with its supporting code) was never sold here in Indonesia. RushCars24ID wrote This one here appears to be (if local sources were correct) a 1979-1984 model with the [F50] code by the front fascia, the one switched to the sole 2.5-litre DG diesel engine which gained further popularity than the F10 model. RushCars24ID wrote Few example sources that confirms Taft nameplate used in this model in Indonesia: Mobil Motor Lama, Indonesian Wikipedia, OtoSeken, Carmudi Indonesia Has the fixed hardtop... RushCars24ID wrote This one shown here has the fixed hardtop, which Astra Daihatsu Motor often used 'Taft Deluxe' in its marketing materials and brochures, although I found at least one brochure without the 'Deluxe' prefix applied (see second thumb below). Don't know either if that version got multiple trims or that's the sole trim or Daihatsu retroactively used the 'Deluxe' prefix as part of the model name. Without further more sources to back this up, remains a moot point for now; feels like had to double-check YouTube later for a few locals whose posted digital compilations of its brochures (apart from the examples below)... -- Last edit: 2025-07-28 09:19:05
