Both are Super Deluxe versions (two-tone paint) of the PH300 model released in October 1959 (equivalent to Series 3 Minx in the UK). They would commonly be called '1960' models as Rootes and Isuzu released new models late in the year for the following year. Both these cars produced completely in Japan - Isuzu had localised production 100% by late 1957.
