This car, actual car on the right, followed our Toyota HiAce camper, as mentioned, the Toyota was really a commercial vehicle and comfort was something it lacked. Our newfound interest in camping was still something we wanted to pursue; we had a trailer (lightweight aluminium, actually, also in the photo) and the Sigma was quite capable of towing it.

Two significant points or milestones about this car: it was our first to have an automatic transmission and, yippee! the first to have air conditioning.

We travelled many kilometres in this little station wagon, as far west as Adelaide.

One thing I do recall about this car, when we had the loaded trailer on it would sometimes jump from Drive to 2nd!...quite unnerving to go suddenly from 2000 rpm to 4500 rpm!...never could find out why it did this, but I suspect it was in the design of the T-bar shifting mechanism. Other than that, not a bad car. The right hand photo above was taken at Kirkleigh Campground on the shores of Wivenhoe Dam, one of our favourite camping locations many years ago. Having sold the Hi-Ace we brought an aluminium trailer for the camping stuff. The dog was Rover, was a nice dog as a puppy but as he got older he became quite aggressive, the vet said he had  a lot of dingo in him...I took him to the RSPC rescue centre, along with a box full of dog food cans. I didn't ask what would become of him.
