    Aladdin's Cave

    Recently I took my English Cousin for a drive in the Country, and this is what I found......at the Holden Dealership in Canowindra 1 hour from here.....the owner of the dealership had kept one of each model..some he has since sold, and the rest are there still....managed to grab a tailgate with window prob from a ute conversion:cry: there are a lot of pictures but i think they will all be interesting.....:D

























    I picked up some genuine bumpers as well:lol:

    Yes Adamperth....She did recognise the Jag that was up the back......she writes truck manuals for Mercedes and Fiat so she was half interested.....I didn't take all those pics that time...I had a look, for 15mins, then asked the guy could I come back with Rodney....which we did and spent three hours there.....It is however hard to explain my love for Sandmans to the poms, at least I had one to show her.....Glad my parents brought me here or I would be into all those British cars.....:lol:
