    You might need a bus ticket to get to the back of the line for that one.

    Pretty sure Holden still has it.

    Probably easier and cheaper to buy one and do it yourself. Jason could probably help with stickers and the rest is just "work". Nice van, I might see if I can find one....

    They are usually in the Holden Sports and Social club shop on display. I'll check tomorrow. The shop is open for anyone to visit - 191 Salmon St Port Melbourne. Dave is the guy in the shop and it can only handle small numbers of people at one time.
    Some other cars that are on display are the GTR-X, Efijy, the Hurricane, Marilyn, the original coupe showcar and heaps more. Always worth a look for anyone passing. They cycle cars in and out so its a bit of a lucky dip as to whats on display on the day. I am completely unbiased (current employee) but you've only got to have a look at some of these cars and you'll know that Holden has always had some of the best most talented people in the industry. The Design staff is recognised worlwide and not just in GM.

    That's going on my list if I ever get to Melbourne.

    And no argument about the later part of your statement..... HK Monaro, HQ, LC Torana, LX Hatchback..... All design perfection in my eyes.
