Ebay score....

**Absinth** · 28-03-2011, 11:23 PM

Just won this mint HQ owner manual, guide and warranty.... thought it would have gone for a lot more but only one other bidder.... start price was $60... got it for $66. Very rare to find in this condition...

I watched that one on ebay as it looked to be from a Adelaide built HQ just prior to the vins that were allocated to a batch of what look to be HQ SS's.
A good buy that's for sure
When you get it would there be any chance that I could get the details from the
warranty cert from you.
If I read it correctly its from Reeves Garage which was dealer code 653 from what I have been told. But I am not 100% sure on that
That dealer code sold a few SS's so if I can get the vin number from you I can get it checked on the Fiche and confirm if the number is correct.

Also on a side note Leroy and I are collecting all the HQ details that we can come across for what ever type of HQ it is.
we are up to 1100 mostly complete sets of details now and around 1400/1500 if you include the partial detail vehicles as well.
So a mere 480 000 odd to go and we will be finished. lol
Cheers Paul.

No worries Paul, I'll scan it and post it up when it arrives. I can see Reeves garage, it's a Vacationer sedan, Adelaide built, 202, white/zodiac blue, delivered 29th Nov 72.

paul,get hold of byron if you have not already as i gave him my old dealers books to get records from which go back around 15 years..

Still working on them when time permits! Probably not much use to Paul's records though as they are only chassis numbers, with the odd original engine thrown in. Bloody amazing even in the 90's how many pre VL had engine changes!

Paul I still have all the old books out of a HQ prem I owned a few years back. Owners manual, owners guide with the warranty cert in it, Air chief owners manual with fold out Diamond Dot authorised service stations list & 12/12 warranty card, original rego cert & sales recpt. If there's any details you or Leroy are after for you records I can post up photos if you want. cheers Tony

Hi Tony.
Thanks for that.
I cannot quite make out the details from the certificate so if you can post them up or email to me what they actually are I would greatly appreciate it.
Cheers Paul.

G'day Paul, hopefully here's some better pics for you mate. Sorry I don't have any Tag details from it but hope this has info you can use for your records. The paint colour was the same Burgundy 15894 as shown in Leroys old holden shed.

I love it when you find all these books and stuff in the glove box when you buy an old car, BONUS!

I still have the original plates OJJ 915 off it somewhere as I kept them as a momento when it got written off in a hail storm quite a few years back ... I got paid out $3500 for it, pffff, wish I still had it now.

Perfect thanks heaps for that.
The certificate is pretty well filled out anyway so it has all we need to know.
Going by the combo number and the Burgundy bit it should have looked like this colour

and trim should be like the Prem in these pics
