Interesting Wiki says that NZ did not get the wagon version; this fact was heavily criticized. But from 1984 on, they were imported and locally assembled. -- Last edit: 2014-11-27 20:32:52 |

This could just be an import? -- Last edit: 2014-11-27 20:31:32 |

After the import-laws were cancelled (the Kiwis here will know the year), NZ was flodded with used import cars. In such an extreme way, that the local car-assembly-lines (Toyota, Ford, Holden Chrysler) collapsed. -- Last edit: 2014-11-27 20:38:13 |

87+, maybe later. RHD so Estate more appropriate than Turnier, wherever it came from. |

1990+ because of the white indicators. |

New Zealand had the Sierra wagon as the replacement for the Cortina wagon in the early 80's, as there was no replacement wagon in the Telstar range which replaced the Cortina Sedan. Sierra sedans were sold new here from around 1988 through to about 1994 or so when both the wagon and sedan were discontinued. |

Used imports from Japan started around 1986/87, as a Government scheme to get us kiwis driving newer safer vehicles, which kind of backfired, as the average age of a vehicle on NZ roads is still around 13 years old or so. The NZ assembly plants didnt close until the late 90's. Upon saying that, if it wasnt for Japanese imports we would all still be driving Hillman Hunters and Ford Zephyrs....lol |

Parallel universes are always so much more exciting. You'd also have no sheep on your farms. |
