We have had 9 Camiras in our family and still have a 87 JE SLE. With the exception of the 83 JB all of our Camiras have been absolutely bullet proof. Awesome cars.
I never thought I'd say this, but gee I miss the JB Camira. All those shitboxes stinking up the roads with their blue smoke, reminds me of simpler and better times. 👌
The ignition module below the coil often stops them from starting and the hall sensor in the distributer, but mostly the ignition module. I had my SL/E Camira for 41 years, since new, I drove is for 36 years, I had many many problems with it, but I still squeezed 650 thousand kilometers out of it. Everyone told me you can't draw blood from a stone, I said, " Watch me" and I did. and if it had a battery, it would still run to this day. One engine rebuild and one clutch change.
GF had auto wagon with 180k on clock. Was gutless, rusty but reliable for several years. Lots interstate trips. Handled well but build quality was poor-paper thin panels too.

I still can’t believe dad bought one of these.

You should do ASMR car vids

yeah this camira was good untill it broke.
That's a very early one! What's the serial number?
ill have a look on the weekend but i know the car was built in September 1982.
Those things didnt even run when they were new.
YEAH GET THIS BURLEIGH UP YA YA DOG
All I remember was these things loved to spit out spark plugs.
yeah the clutch in this one was more of a problem than the spark plugs.
oh no... not the Camira !!
You gonna finish the video with an update
yes i will i have already filmed more on it tonight i will have to edit it.
The most unreliable car of the 80's
yeah well I've already broke it.
They were also known for their petrol pump blocking
yeah fortunately i got the fuel pump working.
Anyone who thinks a camira is worth fixing isn't worth watching
is that why you clicked on the video.
Dont think anyone cares if any camira ever runs again.
most people would think that but you dont see them anymore and its a part of the car history in Australia.
Please don’t start it.
already have.
