Hi guys,

A few years back a bunch of us got together and had a Sigma day ( galant for the overseas market ). Was a great day and here are some pics of the cars that cruised with us.

Unfortunately this one didn't have the original Astron - it had a 13B turbo rotary in it!!

Hope ya like em

Great pics! Do you have any closeups of that light blue one on the left and the hi-roof wagon in the back? I have a soft spot for wagons. And emus!

Sometimes I find myself wondering how much it would cost to import a cool non-US car into the country. Those old lancers are one that often crosses my mind! Different than anything available here but mechanically similar enough to a Starion/Conquest to maintain with out to much difficulty!

Awesome pics! :shock:

I was kind of hoping to see some Starions in the pics though.

Wish I could have come, there aren't many RWD Sigma/Galants in the UK, leaving me to potter around in mine alone (looking conspicous).

What are the wheels on the yellow one?

Sweet wheels you have on your Sigma.

The day was set up as a Sigma day so unfortunately no Starions attended. There aren't alot of them getting around here these days. Both the wagon and blue GJ/GK Sigma were people who rocked up on the day because we advertised on the net so unfortunately I didn't get any more pics of them. Now that I'm on this site and I know there is an interest in them, I'll keep an eye out at car shows etc. The 80's Mitsubishis are ridiculously common here as until only last week, we had a Mitsubishi factory 30 minutes away!

In terms of wheels, not sure what the Yellow one has

. The ones on my white wagon were Standard GH Turbo Rims made by Globe wheels. As only 500 GH Turbos were ever made, the wheels themselves have a bit of a cult following. Lucky for me I still have a spare set

Yeah I have a buddy over in OZ used to own a Starion, he even said they're pretty rare.

Ok, after a bit of clever playing around with the image links, I discovered that the photos above were from Old Colt's Cardomain page, so if anyone wants to see the photos in question, simply go to this website: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/267090/9

Hi Guys, was just browsing and found this thread!! Oh the memories

I remember a lot of the sigma's from the first post, some of them were very quick indeed!!

Noticed a comment down the post about the factory sigma turbo wheels, so for those of you that have not seen one, i have added a couple of pics of my old one. It was build number 28/500 and was a mint original example. I still regret selling it to this day.

It went to help fund my first house. My first sigma turbo was a roughy that had been used for rallying, but when this one owner VERY LOW km example appeared I just had to have it.
My father also had one back when they were a fairly new car.
Anyway hope you enjoy the pics!

That's a very nice Sigma Turbo you had there! I really can't wait to finish my GE Sigma and get it back on the road!
