Keep Holden

[Dr Terry]

HJ and HX Premier. I'm pretty sure they were sent over as a complete car minus engine and box. Extra stuff for Mazda was either fitted (like side blinkers) or deleted (like side mirrors). I have a full list somewhere of the option package and what it had or what was deleted.

Correct, HJ & HX Premier sedans. They were built here, less engine & transmission, with a specific rear axle ratio & air cond etc. etc., but an interesting tid bit is that the front & rear bars were pressed out of steel around half the thickness of the Aussie delivered cars, in an effort to reduce body weight.

I've never driven one either or even seen one in the flesh, but photos I've seen depict some very ordinary (read garish) interior trim.
