My 1974 Pantera from Europe has them as well.  Parts (pads, seals, flex lines, etc) are readily available from our vendors.  When rebuilt they work well.  The pistons are somewhat prone to corrosion and pitting as you might notice during a rebuild.  If that is the case you can try to polish it away and if that does not succeed then new ones can be purchased.

Girlings have always been a dependable brake front & rear. But they always used chrome or nickel plated mild steel pistons. So if you don't drain & renew brake fluid regularly, entrained moisture will get under the plating and pit the pistons. You can check with a magnet sometime. No economic fix possible except piston replacement.  Some of us have made our own stainless steel brake pistons.
