I have a 1971 corona mkII, fully imported, apparantly there were only about 125 of them brought to australia.
It has an 8R SOHC 1900cc engine
Speedo is in mph
I will post pics when i figure out how.
Im intending on selling it, so im just wondering what it would be worth.
Cheers.

It IS a Mark 2 Corona- except that it is the earlier generation. Only 4 cylinders not 6 like the post 72 model. Looks like this...
Is your car a manual with twin carb engine and the round speedo/tacho dash? The automatics with the strip speedo and single carb engine are worth less. 
Wagons, sedans and utes were also made but never came to Australia.

We did get a few utes in Oz and a couple of GSS RT75 (10R) twin cam versions.

There was a GSS for sale down in Victoria it went for about $4,500(bloody rare car).There is a GSS in Queensland selling for around $3,000,mechanically great,but needs rust repairs.An RT72 1900SL sold in Sydney a few months ago for about $1,000,another one last year for around $2000(used to be my car,bought it for $1,400 8yrs ago).A few auto RT72's recently sold for under $1000.

Basically they go cheap because being rare you cannot get parts so they cost thousands to restore.

Maybe but they would have been "evaluation" models only. The GSS's I know about, having seen them in Wheels etc in 1970. I didn't know utes were bought in by Toyota. I have never seen them. I have seen wagons and sedans, obviously private imports.
Is the GSS for sale in QLD the one owned by Alan Taylor of the RSCR?
