I was down the Goldy today and one of the tradies had a nice original Saddle Tan metallic HZ Kingswood sedan parked out the front of a house I was inspecting.... the only non original things were the hotwire mags and cream velour cloth inserts in the seats. The HZ was a 308 with M21 and GTS dash, trim was Chamois/Covert. It was factory ordered that way and originally had Rally wheels on it which he swapped out for the hotwires.... he bought the car off the original owner 3yrs ago for $2000 and had the seats inserts done as the stitching had torn on the original vinyl.

Unfortunately no pics as the battery in my camera was flat.

I have to take multiple pictures of the houses as part of the inspection and the battery went flat..... I recharge as I am driving to the next job which didn't help me at the time.... phone is a work phone and is strictly for work purposes only and I don't have the cable to download from pics from it...... :cry:

HZ L31 M21 Kingswood sedans are pretty scarce. John Edmonds bought one recently and he has been given an estimate of less than 800 made. I bought one (Madeira Red with Chamois trim) on the way home from school when I was in year 12 in 1985! It was $3999 at Delforce Daihatsu across the road from Warners Bay High School. My mate wrote it off about 5 years later in FNQ. That is actually one set of ID plates missing from my collection (L31, M21 HZ Kingswood). I've got most HZ GTS and Premier variations, and HZ Kingswoods in 253 manual and auto (or I will have by tomorrow - Greg?).

John is always welcome to any of the plates I have. He is helping me out with other more valuable stuff. Example, he has 3 x NOS HJ Premier hubcaps, and I picked up 1 x NOS one on Ebay a few weeks back for $50.
