Was digging through some old photo's and come across dads old 85' Rocky SP. Daihatsu's best 4WD produced.
For the info, this is the basic spec's from memory.
1985 SWB Hardtop
2.8L Turbo Diesel
Recaro Interior featuring LS Front seats and matching trim throughout.
Ultimate Suspension Springs, and Decarbon Shocks. (not 100% sure on this but dad's did)
As far as aware only came in a Gunmetal Grey like colour, with striping (apart from Daihatsu's race vehicles)
No idea how many were actually sold or how many even exist, but it was built primarily as a Homologation vehicle for Daihatsu to compete in offroad racing for events such as the then Wynns Safari. I did once have a Bushdriver Magazine featuring a Road Test of one, but the magazine is long gone, so can't scan it.
The one dad owned was one of the ones Daihatsu raced which also featured in most of their magazine ads of the time featuring ROCKY1 plates.
Just thought i would throw that all in purely for interests sakes and if anyone even knew that they existed.
