Nice colour. Hopefully someone gets it who will want it as much as the origional owner did.

I have always thought there would be far more utes out there to be found than vans... the old b&s boys would of shoved their old ute in the back of a shed. Farms have the space to keep things surburbia doesn't. Lots of vans rusted away near the coast or were stripped for utes.

Without having seen the plates, it looks like a 1st series HJ to me which would be very early use of the papaya colour. I always thought the papaya colour was released for LX torana (March 76) so just caught the end of HJ run, as Byron said, any HJ rare in this colour. Love it.

It's late series, 5/76.

There are vehicles of all types still out there @ tup39. People keep them for various reason's...love of the vehicle..family reason's, such as inheritance. Other's will never be sold or displayed, but are just used for the owner's enjoyment..pleasure.
