wuvvum Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 320188842842 And hands off!!!Nice! Long way south though. Is that a V6 under there? Can't really tell from the pics, but I didn't think a V6 would fit behind the flat-front grille? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Think its a V6 -but it looks long time unused.I missed out on a Fiat 1500 inOz this morning by about £20 -so I've 'spare funds to acquire...Getting it home's the issue -but I'll deal with that if I get it.

r.welfare Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Cavalier? Hahahhahahahahahahaha! No. 'Tis a Holden VH Commodore SS. Think early Carlton/Senator with a wazzo 5-litre V8 and four-speed Dennis Fire Engine manual box. Sophisticated it ain't - but I bloody loves it. I actually saw one of these in Perth last year, sounded ORSUMS, like Brian Blessed in V8 form. DO WANT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually saw one of these in Perth last year, sounded ORSUMS, like Brian Blessed in V8 form. DO WANT.If we're talking down under, when Mrs GVM and I went out to New Zealand I was allowed a paltry NZ$1000 to purchase wheels. I saw a lovely orange Datsun 120Y estate for exactly that amount, but I wasn't allowed it because it was "too old". Ho hum. Anyway, after about three days I decided what I really wanted was one of these, for no better reason than I thought it looked cool. Holden Kingswoods rule (we ended up with an '86 Sunny estate, which was pretty cool in its own right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel bickle Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I'd love one too -and I've an empty space in the container (bellet and 124 are waiting for a ro-ro , now no earlier than feb -so 3 cars fills a container!)Someone explain the model derivations to me -and what I should look for -long distance!

Someone explain the model derivations to me -and what I should look for -long distance! If you are thinking of the estate (station wagon) = it's a HQ Holden 71-74 iirc - though the rest of the hj hx hz range are similar different grills etc. Hz had better suspension (RTS) but later are not as prettytrim is belmont, kingswood ,premier - they are also 2 door Monaros, gts but big big money now! we had the belmont with red vinyl and rubber mats - my uncle had the premier in emerald metallic green and a kingswood in purple.engines are Holden Red 173 ci and most popular 202 ci 3.3L 6 which i think is also in a bigger vauxhall - and the v8s 253 and 308 ci and chev 350 for monarosgreat cars that go forever - column shifts a bit rattley and automatics (trimatics=traumatics) have a so so rep. and the rear suspension has always crapped itself.just a personal view but always tight under the steering wheel in bench seat models but thats just me (im only 6ft)spares are very cheap as transferrable over a big range and this is the best selling holden ever but do have their own one make race series which can lift prices. of course if you like the shape and enjoy japanese they are the Mazda Roadpacer with a 12a (?) rotaryi hope this has hepled - if it was the car you were asking for!if its the VH SS im feeling a bit silly.......

r.welfare Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 "Kingers" are ace, everyone in Oz loves 'em it seems. I reckon the HQ is the best looker. Worth a punt Nige!PS VH SS's are silly money, like £12k + at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 100% with you on the Manta A and C130, but you already know of my love for them DC. Lucky enough to say that I've had examples of both in the past (better to have loved and lost, etc). Still need to compile my list, otherwise my stocking will be empty.
