some 280Cs were "foreign assembled" our first one from Massy rusted in 2 years and was returned and we got a "foreign assembled" one, dunno what that meant but the car had golf clubs in the trunk when we got it and was wayyy nicer but was badged as 280C not Cedric as seen here. My friend's dad was a manager there and had 3 no posts 280c, and 2 280zx, they also had a Cedric like this that was also local so I dunno what Massy was doing back then

The front and back on that 280C are not correct for a "PAE" series car. The 280Cs from that series had a separate reverse light from the main taillight assembly and the front grille had a waterfall type (vertical elements only) grille, not the eggcrate type grille. The front indicators in the bumper are missing the clear park light section.

It still looks good though.

Elite, the foreign assembled ones meant that you got a car that was built for other markets, main difference being that a thicker gauge metal was used for body fabrication.
Extremely accurate Rory.
Everything on that car is foreign parts that weren't even yet available at the 1983-4 period.
It looks good however.

Supposed to look like this:





As for the one by Seenaths, it is diesel iirc.
