GX South Africa

South Africa GX used the 1972 Facelift parts, but with many several differences including hubcaps and interiors. Apparently this was the only country outside Japan that sold B110 GX cars. The GX5 was not sold in South Africa.

See Main Article: South Africa GX

GX Identification

The vast majority of "GX" 1200s for sale in the 21st century have been replicas/clones -- also known as fakes.

Look for:

  • build plate in Japanese script or Afrikaans
  • Build plate showing 83 PS
    19810.jpgAlbum 19810
  • Engine with twin-inlet Suction Pipe (small inlet is non-curved)
  • Chassis number which matches the build plate

GX-5

The GX-5 was a new model for 1972. It was a GX model fitted with a direct-fifth 5-speed Transmission, high-back seats and special GX-5 badges.

See Main Article: GX-5
19277.jpg

1972

In Japan, a minor facelift was applied to all 1972 B110s, including a "power bulge" hood on Standard and Deluxe trims.
