    Holden Historical Services

    Have you guys ever seen this mob? Looks quite interesting. But I think you can also get the same info from Holden for free?

    I guess the game is heating up. Byron you could go into competition with them!!

    You can't get what Ben can give you from Holden. But you can only get a report for a proper numbers matching car.

    Ben is a friend of mine and I have no desire to do the same. Any HHS reports he does for Sandmans will actually have my input, but only if the car is clearly a Sandman from ID details.

    I know Warren Turnbull pretty well, but he has no real involvement with HHS!

    Thanks for the link,
    I recently contacted HHS to see if my HJ van was eligible for a Vehicle Production Report, luckily for me it was.
    Turns out the HJ was sold in June 1975, by Honeycombs in Ayr NQ. Crazy to think that I bought it from Ayr 38 years later.
    The most important thing for me was that Ben confirmed that the HJ still retains the original engine.
    Ben also mentioned that my car was ordered with power steer and the 3.55:1 diff, performance pack.
    Great stuff,
    Gaz.

    He asked me about this car, it is a very unusual build configuration being a 3.55:1 rear axle and steer.

    3.55 was the "performance" rear axle 308 manual in HJ. There are charts showing 3x columns: economy, standard and performance.
