Those were the days!
Imagine turning up in it for the test nowadays....
They'd defect it and fail you before you drove it.

It was a wing and a prayer ...thats for sure The body roll was bloody scary. Mongrels in the back were a screaming and carrying on at cars we were passing. We got a round of applause from the people at the front lining up to get in.

Great stuff mate

That's a beautiful car mate.

Thanks, it has 102,000 miles on the odometer and either my Mum, Dad, me or my Wife have done them all.
I remember the day we picked it up new (traded - in the EH Premier on it), after school at Pat Cullen's Holden in Liverpool, Sydney.
I hated it for a long time because I wanted Dad to get a purple XU-1. Love it now though......

It was a HJ panno. Stocky 253 trimatic floor shift, chamois with side windows and 12 spotters, a little decked out in the back. It was my first car, I bought it when I was 16 and cost $4500 in 1989. Thought it was the 'ducks guts' at the time - got personalised plates JEZ 253.
