Could the following change be made to Car No.2680 Engine No. 9F/SA/Y 44615 The register has the primary colour as burgundy with a Toga White roof. It should read Primary colour as Toga White with a Burgundy roof. The Stock No. tag was 54202. I was the second owner of this car from March 1971 to late 1974. The car was originally purchased at Service Motors, Beaudesert Qld. This gentleman from Tamrookum, south of Beaudesert, traded it on a HG Monaro. I purchased the vehicle, as traded, from Midway Motors at Beenleigh. Midway Motors are now the Motorama Group in Brisbane owned by the Woelders family. In late 1974, I traded it at Midway Motors for a LJ Torana XU1. The third owner was a mechanic in Beaudesert and lived on Tamborine Mountain Qld. As I lived in Beaudesert, I was cheesed off completely, when he painted the car BRG with a white roof and changed the immaculate red upholstery to tan highback Clubman seats and carpet. To the best of my knowledge, the car has resided on the Gold Coast ever since and has only been deregistered from its original plates PHV 814 in the last couple of years. I kept a little red book with all the costs of owning the car in my time. Some of costs are interesting now. eg Point Set - $1.90 Bottom Radiator Hose $2.25 200 Litres of 100 octane Racing Fuel - $19.20 Engine/Gearbox Rebuild by Grand Prix Autos, Milton - $413.91 Set(4) of ROH Contessa Mag Wheels - $70.00 |
