Richard, I downloaded a few 510 tv add from some japp site, they show L13,L14,L16 as 4 doors 510SSS as 4 door and coupe L16 Plus the coupe as the 1800SSS.and delux L18.
I belive that the only 510's factory with L18's are coupes from about 1971 and thats before the 610 came out as a export model with the L18. The top halfs of the doors are about 20mm lower in a coupe than a 4 or 2 door sedan.
