I am just thankful that my HX has 18V trim, without that it would only be a Holden ute with 253 and 4 speed. I know that the chassis is original, but I have no idea if the body is the original and as I bought it as basically a rolling shell, I will never be able to prove that it is original. Not that I really care as I don't intend to sell it anyway!
