@fiat fan sadly the car is now ruined!   It sports a widebody "Ferrari Testarosa" body kit!    Came up for sale last year

Correct! Your turn!   It's a Fortuner Davy, the black bit on the front bumper runs all the way to the fogs unlike the Hilux. And the Lancer has fared much better compared to the Fortu

That's a Subaru Leone. Nice looking car but sadly not very popular locally - has a bit of popularity in Australia. The one in your image is the older version - the one for sale with 11 Sri Plates and being sold by a priest. The more common variant is the 3rd Gen - imported brand new in the early 90's running with 18- plates usually. Some of their books are used to run dodgy imprezzas. There's a blue Leone with good body rotting away on the roadside near Minuwangoda. Like this car so much that around 2020 I did a feasibility study of buying a couple of cars one as a donor to fully restore a Leone. Never really moved on from there. There are a couple of decent Leone's on the classifieds the blackish one has been on sale since 2022. :(

Bang on. I think the 18- Leone's were imported for the Police at that time. There was also a 2 door of this model which was advertised a couple of months back and it came up in this thread as part of trivia as well. A relative had a wagon (or was it?) of this model which he had bought from an embassy sometime back.

Looks like a BMC/Austin-Morris JU2xx van. If so...this van used to deliver baked goodies to the school canteen way back then. It was loving titles the roll-van :)

Yes you are correct, actually this is from an old thread that has sadly been forgotten by time.

Bingo ! The floor is your Gummy bear :)

To @matroska's credit...there was a Langley for sale a few years ago advertised as a Skyline :) which prompted a discussion on AL forums back in the day. Know a few old AL members who actually raced down a Lanley on the roads thinking it was a Skyline :D 
Also, back in the day the Langley was sold at Nissan Prince dealerships, the same dealerships that sold the Skyline. Japanese advertisements often referred to both cars having the same design DNA.

I would say there were quite a few, I remember one of my best buddies father had one in the 90s. They were a more upmarket Pulsar / Sunny. Just thinking about the sheer models they had those days makes you wonder how great the industry would have been in Japan at that time.

Back in the day Japan was a country of excess. The generation of my father-in-law spends A LOT !!! Like with cars people wanted the highest spec. Apparently they did that because when they did buy something like that it was a self-reward. The basic grades were mostly for businesses/fleets. Same applied with electronics, etc...But then they also were not flashy. My father-in-law downgraded his car to an Allion instead of a Mark X from a Gloria (or something) because everyone in his office were youngsters who couldn't buy high-spec cars. Another guy bought a Lancer Evo with his employee discount but sold it a few months later to buy a MiEV for the same reason.
Comparatively the newer generation seems to be a lot more frugal. So yeah....seeing my in-laws I can fully understand why manufacturers did things like take the same car and dress it up in 10 different ways and sold though 6 different dealership lines :)

Is it a S.A. ?
The A is the word for Swallow (the bird) in French. I believe this was also the company's first unibody car ? I am not answering...but if it is what I think it is...take it as the hint @Gummybr was offering :)
