BEST BUY IT’S ALL ABOUT HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL
THIS IS UP for wild interpretation, but what was the best fun for your buck that you ever got out of a car? For me, it’s definitely up for debate and could be argued in several different directions. But in the final analysis, I reckon our 1976 BMW 633 gets the gong. Back in 2014, it cost the princely sum of $7500. Actually that was a bit of a sad story. The car was collateral damage in a divorce and the gent selling it was not in the least bit happy. I could tell by the the way he stood on the footpath, becoming an ever-more dejected-looking figure in the rear view mirror as we drove away. Though I paid full freight, it still felt like I’d stolen it from him. While my previous 635 ate my wallet a few times, this by way of contrast has had very modest demands: fresh seat covers, new shocks and a replacment cooling fan for the engine. Nothing big. And best of all, we’ve got out there and used it. It was long a favourite as the getaway pod, to the point where partner Ms M Snr would refer to it as “the holiday car”. That’s a good way to be thought of isn’t it?
Probably the highlight of its recent career was the Targa Tas Classic Rallye in 2018 (above), where mug punters like us got to play on the Targa course for several days without the pressure of actually having to be fast. Back when new, it would have been hideously expensive – four or five times the cost of a family Falcon – and driving it was a statement. I bought it when values hit rock bottom, though they seem to have risen a little since then. But it wasn’t about capital gain. Frankly I’m pleasantly surprised if I can walk away from the ownership of any vehicle without copping major financial scars. I must confess to having developed a real affection for this thing. It’s not quick, but gets along okay while handling and stopping acceptably. It’s a car I actually trust when it comes to belting through a set of turns. And, let’s be honest, it does the most important thing, which is make the driver feel good. Going for a run feels like a bit of an occasion. That’ll do, won’t it? Guy ‘Guido’ Allen

and I, and I very much look forward to seeing these cars being driven with the same enthusiasm that we have applied to their design.” After the DBR1s debut in 1956 and a string of victories including at the 1957 Spa sportscar race, back-to-back Goodwood Tourist Trophy wins, the 1959 Nürburgring 1000 and Le Mans triumph, Aston Martin claimed the World Sportscar Championship and became the most successful racing machine built by Aston Martin. The original DBR1, of which just five were made, was also the foundation for some of the marque’s best remembered ‘DB' road cars.
INTRODUCING THE SQUALO BRITISH-BASED GTO Engineering has confirmed ‘Squalo’ as the name for its all-new car at the same time revealing its final exterior design. With deliveries due to commence in 2023 the name Squalo, meaning ‘shark’ in Italian, was chosen due to the sub-1000kg, V12-powered car’s shark-like look and speed. Inspired by the sportscars of the sixties the Squalo sticks to similar principles of a powerful engine with a manual gearbox and light weight with production of the car and engines undertaken at its headquarters in the UK.
The quad-cam V12 has undergone significant aesthetic refinements and weight reduction engineering including the removal of the engine shroud to now reveal the trumpets when the bonnet is open. Power and performance claims will be announced shortly. Details on the powerplant are scant, though it's fair to assume there will be come Ferrari influences. “There’s been an outpouring of admiration for what we’re doing here and we realise a little bit of scepticism whether we’re actually making this: a V12-
SEEN SOMETHING?
powered, sub-tonne sports car with a Sixties feel but modern reliability, enjoyment and manufacturing quality. "We’re here to hopefully set the record straight to say yes, it’s happening and we’re sticking to our original ethos for the car as well as timing promises for production. We are also delighted to have early adopters and customer orders received already, and we thank them for the trust in our vision and business,” said GTO Engineering Managing Director and Founder Mark Lyon. “It’s often the small parts of a car that take the longest
time. We’re now at a stage where the design models are being created here in the UK and soon we will announce our technical partners working with us on the exterior manufacturing and interiors, as well as wheels and tyres. In all my years working in the [automotive] industry, I’ve never been as excited about the creativity of manufacturing and design as I am now.” This latest update follows the initial renderings or the all-new vehicle, that were previously announced in November 2020.

VANISHING DODGE
CALAIS CLASS
VL JET
FLIGHTLESS BIRD
I dont care what anyone thinks this is the ultimate muscle car! I loved listening to its exhaust note in traffic.
I have not seen a VK Calais for years. These are still a handsome shape after all these years.
I could not believe my eyes, a totally un-modified VL Commodore complete with front sunvisor and Aunger louvre.
This '62 T-bird has been parked and left to rust away in an industrial estate in Melbourne for years. I wonder what the story is?

Roll Call PLENTY OF FOLK LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME VARIETY SEEMS to be the theme for this year, judging by the big response to Rolling 30 MkII, our coffee and cars on steroids event, set for Sydney Motorsport Park on July 4. Entries began rolling in the moment we opened the booking site (rolling30.com. au) and we’re delighted to say many of the trade folk who supported the event in 2019 are back for another go. That group includes Parry and crew from Muscle Car Warehouse, Mike and the folk from Australian Muscle Car Sales and Chester from Muscle Car Stables. Chester, by the way, was the gent who roped in the two GT-HO Phase IVs for the last event. No doubt all three crews will have plenty to drool over when they turn up this year. Keep an eye out on our web and Facebook pages, plus the Rolling 30 discussion group. See you there!

TOYOTA CORONA 1600 GT5 COUPE
$38,000 SHANNONS, LOT 132
YOU’VE HEARD about being as rare as rocking horse poo, well, this is Toyota’s equivalent and what a good looking little ‘un this Bellatrix Yellow Corona coupe is. Power comes from a tricked up 1600cc twin-cam, itself a spinoff from the Toyota 2000GT. A five speed manual and disc / drum brakes and beefed up suspension complete the mechanicals. Inside are black vinyl dressed bucket seats and a woodgrain steering wheel.Only 2222 RT55 Coronas were produced and few survive.

WHAT'S MOVIN' AND SHAKIN'
KA FORD LASER SPORT Ford Australia superseded the Escort with a rebadged, Mazda 323. The Laser Sport . was a replacement for the RS2000 Escort. At that it failed but still carved its own niche with its snappy performance and good handling. The locally made three-door Laser Sport had better seats, full instrumentation, revised suspension, alloys, wider tyres and a rubber rear spoiler. Most importantly the 1.5lt engine had a pair of Hitachi carbs hanging off it boosting power by 6.9 horses. Buying one and doing it up won’t send your bank account into apoplexy. Rust is the biggest issue. Join a Laser or small Ford club as you never know what you may find.
1950
HUDSON COMMODORE
EIGHT BROUGHAM
A$25,720 RM SOTHEBY'S, LOT 162
14
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
COMMODORE, BROUGHAM and a Hudson not a Holden. This was the rarest (425 made) and most expensive model in the Hudson range in 1950 with a price of A$3717 and the epitome of US car styling post WWII. It’s known as a step down Hudson as the design placed the floor pan on the bottom of the frame rather than the top, making one literally step down to enter a Hudson. Powered by a straight eight, it was hampered by being sold in Europe and is worth three times that in the USA.
1974
BMW 2002 TURBO
A$248,500 BRING A TRAILER,
THIS 1974 2002 turbo is one of just 614 in Polaris metallic built during a two-year production run and has a 188hp, 2.0-litre four paired with a four-speed manualand limited-slip differential. It features a turbospecific body kit and Motorsport stripe package, 13-inch Alpina wheels, a 70-liter touring fuel tank, bolstered sport seats and a certificate of authenticity.
1968
FIAT 124 AC SPORTS COUPE
$22,850 SHANNONS, LOT 135
THE 124 coupe is one of Fiat’s finest. Fun to drive with a twin cam four and slick five speed manual. Alan Grice made his Bathurst debut in a 124 alongside the late Bill Tuckey. This example with 95,177 miles on it is part of a private collection and been instorage for the past four years. It’s the more favoured AC version with the twin round headlights and it is ready for a resto. Affordable Italian classic motoring awaits.
1972 DONINGTON AUST June 20 Lot F151 Estimate $150-170,000
JAGUAR E-TYPE SERIES 3 V12 THE ULTIMATE graduation present? Maybe. The story goes that Melbourne resident Dr Bermingham offered his son Ross a new car if he graduated with honours from his medical course at Cambridge. It's possible this cost the good doctor more than he bargained for! The car was subsequently bought by its current owner, well-known
motorsport identity Bryan Thomson, in 1977, He has owned it ever since. It was initially used as a daily-driver, before an XJS took over that role. Apparently it's led the life of a semi-retired classic ever since, getting the occasional drive and service. It's presented as being in original shape and should spark plenty of interest.

1969
FORD MUSTANG MACH 1
$172,500 SHANNONS, LOT 125
FORD CREATED the Mach 1 in honour of speed of sound breaker Chuck Yaeger. A new Mach 1 is on the Australian horizon and may have helped boost the price of the is clean 1969 model. Standard engine was a 351 but for another $90 yankee dollars you could have the 390ci V8 as this has. Its finished in Candy Apple red with black trim, is right hand drive, is fully restored and has a report confirming its authenticity,
1998
SUBARU IMPREZA 22B STI
A$403,755 BRING A TRAILER
IT’S NUMBER 156 of 400 and finished in WRC blue. It's turbocharged, all-wheel drive with a 5 slot manual locking centre diff and 22B bodywork, Recaro pews, an adjustable rear wing, BBS wheels, STi brake calipers, automatic climate control, and 40,000kms on the clock aaaand very expensive. The 22B was built to commemorate Subaru’s 40th anniversary and its third WRC.
1976
STUTZ BLACKHAWK COUPE
$146,500 SHANNONS, LOT 122
WELL, YOU don’t trip over these things every day. I don't know if the Stutz Blackhawk coupe was built as a bet or a dare but the eccentric coupe with its massive grille, hiding a 455ci V8, huge headlights, side exhausts and spare on the bootlid turns heads. Inside is equally garish. Blackhawks were the must have celeb chariot once with owners including Elvis, Sammy Davis Jr, Liberace, Dean Martin and Evel Knievel.
1972
FORD FALCON XA GT
$186,000 GRAYS, LOT 1
THIS AWARD-WINNING resto got a very strong response. Owner Glenn Willmott says he and father-in-law Graham put the car together themselves as part of a two-year project. "He ran around and got the parts we needed while I was away working," explained Glenn, "Then we'd get together and work on the car." The driveline for the Calypso Green beauty is a desirable set-up: 351 4V Cleveland with FMX auto and nine-inch diff. 16

I turned to a WRX but I still would love to find an un-modified version of this rare Holden. TIM JENSON - VIA EMAIL

ALFA ROMEO MONTREAL It is hard to look at this car and not mourn the absence of pure aesthetics from modern automotive design. The Montreal was intended to showcase Italian automotive mastery at an event called Expo 67 and while they could have sent a Lamborghini Miura (both came from the Bertone design studio) the Alfa did its job of stunning and delighting Expo visitors. Making the little V8 delight buyers was more difficult and only 3925 cars were built. Fewer than 100 came here and prices since 1994 are up significantly, with an exceptional car offered recently at $170,000.
NOVEMBER 1997
DATSUN 240Z NOW
$100,000120,000
$13,500
Scowl if you want, but anyone who was buying cars in the tough, late-1990s market knows that $13,500 was exceptional money for a 240Z. Even one this good. At the time of offering this car was almost 25 years old, although in its favour were the 2000 kilometres travelled during each of those years. In addition, the colour was rare and it came with daggy but original domed wheel covers. Shift focus to the present and $13,500 won’t buy a rusted wreck, instead, a 240Z of this quality would be headed to auction with a six-figure reserve and a vendor confident of topping that target.
NOVEMBER 2003
HSV SV89
NOW
$40,000 -50,000
$10,500
18
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
At a time when some HSV values have hit half a million dollars, it is easy to forget that not every product of the fledgling business was destined to spawn a Bathurst winner. Cars like this SV89 were essential to keeping dealers supplied with cars that were cheaper and easier to sell than the controversial VL Group A and just 200 of the SV89 were built. All were white and based on the VN Berlina V8, with an experimental cold air-intake system and uprated transmission. They don’t appear for sale very often and our price range is an estimate, so if you recently sold one please let us know.
MAY 1988
DAIMLER 2.5 V8 NOW
$35,000 -40,000
$12,000
Many years passed before the classic vehicle world came to acknowledge the worth of Daimler’s 2.5-litre V8. Yes, the car shares its shape with a Jaguar but the V8 offered a delightful and delicate alternative to the straight-six Jag motor; a unit that was effectively four BSA motorcycle engines cast in series with a wonderfully resonant exhaust. Plenty of the baby Daimlers came to Australia and survivors aren’t difficult to locate, however they do share the Mark 2 Jag’s penchant for body problems and expensive leather retrims. One in this condition should have trebled its 1988 value.
OCTOBER 1991
BUICK RIVIERA GS 1968 NOW
$35,000 -40,000
$12,500
What a bargain this Buick appears to be and what a nice car to own if you were the first to arrive in Canberra with $12K in your top pocket. Unlike a lot of ACT-registered American cars, this one has been converted to RHD drive so perhaps was not among the diplomatic imports that once were common sights on the roads of our National Capital. With the GS pack it should have included disc front brakes, heavier springs and shocks and some added interior frills, but even without them this was a lot of car for the price and today worth considerably more.
DECEMBER 2002
NOW
$300,000 -330,000
$49,200
MERCEDES-BENZ 190SL During the 1960s it was possible to own a 190SL for just ten bob (about $20 in today’s money) because they were pretty hard to sell and being given away as lottery prizes. Times change though, with prices paid for the similarly shaped 300SL routinely exceeding US$1 Million and the 190 version firmly attached to its coat-tails. Don’t expect performance or scarcity for your $300K, however. The carburettor-fed, four-cylinder version managed just 78kW, with almost 26,000 made during a production run that spanned eight years.
AUGUST 1994
TRIUMPH TR3A NOW
$40,000 -45,000
$17,990
For many years, the TR3A and MGA have fought for supremacy in the market for mainstream 1950s-60s sports cars. The USA was their prime battle ground; however, Australia saw plenty of both models when new and a lot survive. While the MG was down on power against the 2.0-litre Triumph (if we ignore the troublesome MGA Twin-Cam) it nudged ahead when looks and handling were considered. This TR at almost $18K would have taken some time to sell in a difficult 1990s market but today should be worth a tad more than the typical Mark 1 MGA. TradeUniqueCars.com.au

Almost as revered as the GT-HO badge is the lesser known RP083. Ford fans know this innocuous code means something special. While the Phase IV never got into production lots of the bits had arrived at the factory in anticipation. So instead of doing their dough Ford threw them on unsuspecting XA GTs. If you own one you are luckier than a lotto winner. But 800 people can own one of these 1-18 scale Jewel Green XA RP083 sedans from Classic Carlectables. classiccarlectables.com.au

It was with interest that I read the article on the 1970 404 commencing page 70 of the April 29 edition of Unique Cars. The interest arises not only because I have such a vehicle in my shed on Phillip Island but that sitting beside it is a Cabriolet version of that model. This vehicle was brought into Oz from the US and although a ‘65 model was restored up in a bare metal form by a Blackburn shop to virtually a new car standard. Also of interest is that it sits beside a 504 Cabriolet, in like red and of similar standard. The shed also comprises cabriolets from 204 (a project to come), 205, 304 and 306 together with another ten or so Peugeot’s from 203 (I have a Type 181 currently under restoration at my son’s) through to 405 MI 16s and STi and 406 Coupe’s (D8 and D9 S2), 504s and a 605.

I disagree with Mr Kelsen’s views on Vic’s Club Permit Scheme and CTP (last issue). 1. Club Permit holders do pay TAC insurance plus are classed as registered owners therefore the old cars are registered. 2. Us permit holders usually have one or more cars fully registered so pay our fair share there too. 3. All cars, not drivers, should be registered for CTP/TAC as vehicles can be stolen or driven by unlicensed drivers putting innocent drivers at risk in accidents 4. The Club Permit Scheme is possibly responsible for millions of dollars invested each year in Australia on collectable auto industry, repairs, maintenance and club recreational events and car shows etc. Ian Terry ED: I knew this would fire up a debate.

The gist of it is the old argument: should we be paying separate third party fees on all vehicles, or simply on our licences? Carl Kelsen’s letter last issue fell into the latter camp, though I don’t think he was suggesting classic cars should be penalised – quite the opposite.
ROLLER BOATS Hey Guy, well done on promoting Shannons auction house, and trying to increase the flailing prices of these old boats (top right). The reason they are cheap and probably the only depreciating old car on the market is no one wants to work on them, no one will work on them, and parts are a nightmare. Have a look at the Bentley R turbos just as an example: what, $200- $300k new? Can now get em for $40k. Cheers Dingo
LEFT This 1966 SIlver Shadow went for $36,500.
PS. Just my opinion love the mag, got a pile of ’em three metres high ED: I can see your point of
view, Dingo, but disagree. Just by coincidence, as I was reading your letter I got an email from columnist Jon Faine, who was burning up some waiting time in Darwin airport looking a local cars for sale. He found a 1978 Holden HZ Kingswood six at $36,000 and a 1988 Rolls Royce SIlver Shadow at $30,000. There are risks with jumping into old Euro luxo yachts, but I thinik they’re exaggerated. I recently bought an early 8-series BMW for under 15 per cent of its original price, and before that a longwheelbase S-class Benz for around five per cent of new sticker price. Both have been a great experience. And I have others going back some years. Sure you can burn your wallet, but I’m not convinced it’s all doom and gloom. As for Shannons, they happened to have an example up for auction that illustrated the point nicely. Take care.

ORIGINAL AUSSIE Hi ya folks. Reading the bit in Morley’s piece about the originality of machines living with humans took me back a few years when I was a truckie, not a trucker. We’re Aussies not Yanks! I was chatting with a bloke driving a tired looking Slimline Kenworth, the model with the very long snout. The red finish had faded to flat powdered undercoat with what was once classy gold
pinstriping now barely visible. On my asking about restoring it he told me it had been bogged down in the desert during the wet season for several months before a recovery which took a couple of weeks. He reckoned that truck had a real story behind it and he wouldn’t touch it. Mechanically it was fine despite over two million miles up on that ol’ Detroit “Jimmy” two-stroke diesel. They had a bellowing sound all of their own. You couldn’t mistake them. Now that was a machine with real character! Taking that on board, I touch up what I call “vandal marks” where parked cars had their doors clunked against my thirty year old Apollo in car parks, but the stone chips on the front, a legacy of some road trip
adventures, stay untouched. Hey great to have ya back Dave! Remember me? Like Zen and the..argh forget it! Here’s to ya...Aussie. Aussie Sadler
ED: I’m sure Morley will
get a chuckle out of that, Aussie. Thanks.

THE ROLLS-ROYCE Silver Cloud, launched in April 1955, and its successors, Silver Cloud II and Silver Cloud III were the flagships of the British motoring world and the perfect vehicle for monarchy, VIPs and industry giants to be chauffeured around in for the next 11 years of their production life. They were built in substantial numbers, with a total of 7372 units constructed before being replaced by the Silver Shadow. Of the many significant upgrades during the Silver Cloud model life was the phasing out of the tried and true 4.9-litre 6-cylinder engine used in the Cloud I, replaced by a more powerful 6.2-litre V8 for the Cloud II.
That engine, by the way, is legendary. The Jack Phillips design had to be 50 per cent more powerful, and lighter, than the six it replaced. Not only did the engine meet the design brief very successfully, but it went on to great things. Later iterations were better known as the six-and-three-quarter, and it was in this guise in 2020 that it was finally retired after 61 years of development, that included turbocharging. Quite an achievement! For SIlver Cloud II and III owners, the real revelation was their car may have had V8 power, but it was also quiet and refined. Rolls-Royce put a lot of effort into NVH with this series, efectively

damping out the majority or mechanical and dynamic noise. This was the era that spawned the famous claim you could hear the clock ticking at 60mph. As for the Silver Cloud III, it appeared in 1963. By then the body had gone through a subtle evolution and refinement from top to bottom, the most obvious visual difference being the introduction of quad head lights that carried over to the Silver Shadow. The Cloud III also copped the Jenny Craig treatment shedding kilos in the quest for improved handling and performance. Those advancements aside, for some the Cloud series is the last of the truly traditional Rolls. The bold sweeping lines are part of that. If anything the styling was dated when the car came out ion 1955, but its sheer presence seemed to allow the company to get away with it. Plus, this is the last generation to use separate chassis construction. For many, the Shadow series to follow doesn’t have quite the same ‘old world’ charm. The folk at Oldtimer Australia have for sale this Australian delivered example with a documented history. It’s a factory right-hand drive Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III that was transported to Liverpool on 7 December, 1964, for its voyage to Brisbane, Australia. The original dealer was UK Motors and the first name on the ownership papers was WN Dendle & Company from St George, a long way west of Toowoomba, in Queensland. According to Oldtimer: “After 20 years of ownership the Silver Cloud III was sold to the Voller family, also of Queensland, in 1984 and during their custodianship it was repainted in its original burgundy hue and used sparsely over the following fifteen years until it was acquired by its current owner in 1999 with the odometer reading 78,455 miles.” Inside the Silver-Cloud III claims to be very original with the odd hint of age. Overall it presents as something you’d just maintain and enjoy. It’s on the market at $84,950. See oldtimeraustralia.com.

ack in the late 1960s Volvo enjoyed a pretty cool image thanks to Roger Moore and the TV series The Saint, where each week Moore would hunt down baddies and their devious plots against the world from the cockpit of his Pearl white 1800S coupe. Moore liked the 1800S he drove in the show so much he bought it and used it as transport long after he retired as Simon Templar in 1969 and became James Bond in 1973. With the demise of the 1800, Volvo took a nosedive 36

with enthusiasts as they were hell bent on giving the world solid, safe, conservatively styled (for the sake of being kind), family transport like the 240 series. But that all changed in 1991 when the Swedish car maker whipped the covers off their new 850 with the slogan “A dynamic car with four unique innovations”. These referred to the new transverse five-cylinder engine driving the front wheels, the Delta-link rear axle, a genuine side impact protection system (SIPS) and self-adjusting seatbelts.

BELOW Boxy and Lego-like in shape, the wagon had something about it, making it very cool
While both the sedan and wagon had an all-new boxy design akin to something more from Lego, the wagon in particular was a hit and Volvos were again lurking about in places other than bowling clubs and church carparks. First came the GLT with a choice of a 2.0lt or 2.5lt 20 valve engine, then the wagon arrived in 1993. While at first it seemed like more of the same from Volvo just in different clothing, what won Volvo back its mojo was the arrival of the 850 T-5R and 850R performance twins. In April 1994 jaws hit the ground when Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR Group unveiled Volvo’s entry in the manufacturer-rich and super-competitive British 38
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
“WHAT WON VOLVO BACK ITS MOJO WAS THE 850T-5R AND 850R” Touring car Championship (BTCC). Rolling out through the curtain to a packed media conference was a ground-hugging racing Volvo…wagon. It was more than a publicity stunt as the 850 wagon proved to be highly competitive with a best qualifying place of third and fifth the best race finish. Although it ran for a single season before switching to the sedan body this crazy touring car (wagon) gave the brand a massively positive image boost and sales ran
hot. Even rival John Cleland, driving a factory Vauxhall was happy, being a Volvo dealer in Scotland. The motoring world pricked up its collective ears again that year with Volvo introducing a sporty turbo version, called the T-5, capable of zero to 100km/h in a very un-Volvo like 7.8 seconds. Capitalising on the racing 850 wagon and turbo powerplant Volvo created the limited-edition T-5R in 1995. Adding to the hype
surrounding the T-5R was that Porsche co-developed it. A new ECU added 1.5psi of boost for 13 more kilowatts to 177 and a handy 300Nm from its 2.3lt turbo five-cylinder that could be had with a four-speed auto or five-speed manual. Zero to 100 was done in 7.4 seconds. A total of 6964 Volvo 850 T-R5s were produced over 11-months from August 1994 in sedan and wagon trim with just 25 lobbing into Australia recognised by their front and spoilers, side skirts and polished aluminum door sills. Following the success of the 850 T-5R Volvo upped the ante with the 850R, a full-on production model and even hotter with serious performance cred. Zero to 100km/h 6.7 sec and a top

speed of 254km/h thanks to the 20-valve 2.3lt turbo five now with 185kW and 330Nm or 177kW in auto trim. Referred to as the flying brick the 850R rode on five-spoke titanium grey 17x7-inch alloys with licorice strap 45 series grippy Pirellis. A broader colour range was offered including red, black, dark grey, dark olive, turquoise and white. The interior featured body-hugging, alcantara and leather trimmed front sport seats, alcantara door cards and a two-tone leatherwrapped steering wheel, plus a beefy audio system. When it went on sale the Volvo 850R was the flagship 40

model and the wagon the costliest at $81,950 with the sedan a pinch less at $79,950 Like the T5-R before it, the 850R came in both sedan and wagon bodies and production ran for a single year from 1996. In that time an estimated 6000 were produced. It wasn’t just Britain where the big 850 hit the race tracks. Volvo Dealer Racing entered an 850 T-5 sedan for Peter Brock and Tony Scott in the 1994 James Hardie 12 Hour production car race at Bathurst, finishing 25th. Australian race fans and rivals got to
gawk at the 850 wagon, driven by Scott in the 1995 Australian Super Touring Championship. The following year Volvo pulled off a coup, recruiting Peter Brock to drive an 850 sedan in the Australian championship and help Volvo rid itself of the cardigan image.
A Walkinshaw- built BTCC cast off (one of four built) was imported, painted red with Brock’s famous 05, prepped and managed by George Shepheard, the pair having enjoyed success together in the 1979 Repco Reliability Trial. The distinctive
“PAINTED RED WITH BROCK’S FAMOUS NUMBER 05 ON IT” sounding five-cylinder made its debut at Albert Park’s debut as the new home of the Australian Grand Prix. Bad luck and mechanical dramas meant no wins and Jim Richards was drafted in to drive the Volvo at Bathurst, in a support race to the 1000 enduro that Brock was driving in. Rainmaster Richards won the wet race on Sunday giving Volvo its first local Super Touring victory. In 1997 Brock focused on his Holden drive and Richards took over the Volvo. Armed with a newer 850 he finished fifth in the 1000 enduro, now for Super Tourers with Swede Rickard Rydell. A quarter of a century after production, T5-R and 850Rs are thin on the ground but every now and then one pops up for sale. A recent mint T-5R
sedan was advertised in Unique Cars for $30,000. Given the rareness, performance and that Volvo won’t ever build anything like this again given their recent declaration of an all-electric powered future just over the horizon, either of these performance twins is bound to creep up in value. As the wagon was clearly the most popular of the two when new, expect them to be dearer. Although they are pretty robust old jiggers, have a Volvo specialist check out whatever you are serious about.

WHILE HOLDENS and Fords pounded around our race tracks, Subarus and Mitsubishis duked it out just as fiercely on the rally trails here and around the world. Rally fans were just like Holden and Ford fans and you were either a Suby WRX or a Mitsi EVO fan. Most EVOs have suffered in the hands of wannabe Tommi Mäkinens but this one appears to be in pretty good shape and Japanese performance cars are rapidly gaining in value. With 208 kilowatts under your foot, five gears in your hand and all-wheel drive, imagine the fun you can have.

JUST WHEN you think that every Morris Minor has been accounted for, another one appears out of the blue. This one had a teacher as its first owner and moved it on as age had caught up with her. It was then bought by a friend of the vendor so its history should be pretty much known, something rare in such a car. Simplicity was the recipe back then and this little Morry appears to be in good nick with the cream duco and red interior combo looking quite appealing. A great way to kick off a collection.

Given the popularity of the fourth-gen Liberty combined with ballistic and keenly sought STI performance, with room for five and for a price of hatch, it looks like pretty good bang for your bucks. And for those that like to or want to once again give their left leg a workout, you’re in luck as this one has a six slot manual and naturally all-wheel drive. Not many Liberty GT wagons were produced and some say it’s the ultimate Subaru wagon.

This one is in the retina-pleasing combo of crisp white exterior contrasting nicely with the red interior. Although prices have been creeping up they are still a lot of car for your hard earned and a bargain compared to anything Australian with equal performance, not to mention iconic stature. If you want an affordable American classic here’s your chance.

E38 TRIBUTE
riginally this was a six-cylinder auto 770 in Vintage Red with black interior, and I transformed it into a tribute car – or a copy of an E38. So it has nearly all the gear that you’d expect, right down to the door trims with their silver panels. There wasn’t much to this car when I got it. It was a rolling shell with most of the glass missing and no interior. However I’ve been building and fixing Chargers for decades, so it looked like a viable project. As it turned out, it was much worse than I expected when it came to rust. I ended up depending a lot on Elko Perfromance in Vic, as they seemed to have pretty much everything I needed, including patch panels. In fact, I think I must have tested their patience a few times, but they were good. Paul Norris there is a walking encyclopedia on Chryslers. I tackled a lot of basic rust repairs and Paul took on the

finer stuff. That was lucky, because he doesn’t usually tackle panel work. Then it was off to a painter and that turned out to be a bit of a story. The bloke I use was working with a new paint shop. They were given the codes for Vintage Red and what we got wasn’t quite right. It was one of those situations where I looked at it and wondered if it was worth having a barney over it – then the more I looked the more I liked the colour, so I decided to leave it alone. As it turns out, I like the colour and I like the whole car. I had the motor before I got the car, it’s out of a CL dated about 1976. You can get a lot of the ancillary gear for them now. For example a company called Redline makes an inlet manfold for them that has the right numbers on it. The triple Weber carburettors can be expensive and difficult to find as a set. My solution is to have an ad running permanently in a parts magazine, and I’ll buy them one at

What I did for a while was put them together as a set with a manifiold and sell them on. Webers are one of those components that are easy enough to work on, but there are lots of things you can get wrong. When I first started working on them, I never pulled all three apart at the same time. That way if you got lost, or had a part left over, you had an example to check where you went wrong. Balancing and tuning them is quite tedious. However they react to atmosphere and have some ability to compensate for conditions. People say Webers never stay in tune, but that’s not my experience – they’re actually very good. The car will idle differently as the conditions change, which people assume is going out of tune, but it’s not. You set them up once and leave them alone. I’m a motor mechanic by trade and I’ve lost count of how many of the 265 sixes I’ve built over time – I enjoy doing

them. It’s got the big harmonic balancer in place, it’s a reproduction item from Romac. When it came to gearbox choices, there were two good three-speed and one four-speed transmission sitting in the shed. However I have two other four-speed Chargers, one of which is a hill-climb car. I was thinking I might just break that hill-climb ’box one day, so I decided it might be wise to keep the spare four-speed. And that’s how we ended up going down the E38 path. As for the diff, I was talking to a bloke I know who had a limited-slip unit at one stage. I asked whether he still had it, and the story was it was making noises going round corners, so he replaced it and left the old unit down the side of his house. It cost me $100 and I took it to my diff man, who repaired it and said, “I never want to see it again.” Apparently it had left-hand threads in the crown wheel and pinion and he rekoned you can no longer get the bolts. That seemed a bit odd, so I traced them through the parts books and they were made for 1972 Chargers that were likely to run at Bathurst. I checked with John Grant, who was involved with Chrysler and John Ellis at the time, and he confirmed the story. I’ve gone for the bonnet scoop because it looks good, even though it doesn’t do anything. Chrysler tried them out in a

"I THOUGHT IT WISE TO KEEP THE SPARE FOUR-SPEED AND THAT'S HOW WE ENDED UP GOING DOWN THE E38 PATH" wind-tunnel and soon realised the air flow went higher than the scoop and made it redundant. Still, I like the look of it. Dave at Warragul Motor Trimmers did the interior for me. I gave him a bit of a challenge this time – normally a trimmer can use the old seats as a patttern, but this time he had to do it from scratch and I’m very happy with the result. The actual grain of the material may not be spot-on, but I think people get too fussy over that sort of thing. So far as I’m concerned, if it’s black and looks right, that’s fine. This is, after all, a tribute car. The door trims are a set I had sitting around for years and years, but I didn’t use them at first because they had speaker holes in. However when I was doing this car I cleaned them

up and put them in. You can get new ones but they’re a lot of money. Some of the little trim pieces are almost impossible to get and people charge a fortune and I won’t pay. There is usually an alternative. My approach with these projects is not to worry about the last tiny detail being factory-correct. I don’t care. It’s my car and I make sure it’s a good working example, because I like to use them. One example is I’m running twin side-filler petrol caps because I like the look of them. However it’s not running a big tank and one of them is a dummy. This was a big job, like the car I did before it. I think the bloke I bought this car from had no idea what he had got himself into. There’s no way he would have got it finished. There were lots of things that went wrong along the way and some of them were silly. For example I’ve fitted maybe a dozen twin-plate clutches to Chargers, but this time I put

"IF YOU WORK OUT HOW TO PAY FOR IT YOU CAN HAVE ONE" the back plate was in the wrong way round! Of course the clutch wouldn’t work and I had to pull the gearbox back out and turn it around. Geez it was frustrating. I’ve been involved with Chargers since they were new. We couldn’t really afford one when they came out and I was annoying the hell out of my wife. She wasn’t keen on a two-door car but eventually relented. They came out in August 1971 and she said, “If you work out how to pay for it, you can have one, but I need all your money.” We had just built a new house and had a lot of commitments. So I started driving taxis three nights a week and in December 1972 I bought a new Charger. What are they like to drive? Of course they’re clumsy compared to a modern car. But once you get going to a car show, they’re fine. It can be hundreds of kilometres away and you get there and back feeling quite relaxed. They’re great highway cars. And everyone looks at them. The next project? Cleaning up my shed – it’s a disgrace! I think I’ve had enough of the big jobs for a while. I might tackle a new coat of paint, or replacing an engine, but nothing big…

ike many of us, Lou Scapin became interested in cars as a kid and at age 12 his dream was to own a Ford Mustang. “Being Italian the people around us drove Valiants and Holdens and I don’t think we knew anybody with a Ford. In 1970 I got taken to my first motor race at Sandown,” says Lou. “It was a three hour endurance race for production touring cars and Norm Beechey was the hero, driving a Valiant Pacer. It was pouring rain and he didn’t win but a Canadian bloke called Allan Moffat driving a Falcon GT-HO did. “The following year I was watching the Australian Touring Car Championship race from Calder and this glorious fastback Trans-Am Mustang driven by Moffat won. “I had no idea what a Trans-Am Mustang was but I quickly became obsessed by it and for me Allan Moffat and his Mustang were the ultimate, end of story.” Like all car obsessed kids, Lou had posters on his

bedroom walls but only of one car, the Moffat Trans-Am Mustang. The Mustang shot Moffat to stardom and his rivals to despair, when on May 4, 1969, he and his Trans-Am debuted at Sandown Park raceway. He was like a wild west gun slinger with a take no prisoners attitude and thrashed the locals at their own game; the first of 101 times in 151 starts over the next four years. Single-minded and gruff, but actually quite shy Moffat didn’t have a business empire to go to Monday morning after the races like his rivals. Moffat was a professional driver, Australia’s first and Coca-Cola were footing the bills; but only if he won. You can understand his determination. His amigo, the Trans-Am Mustang was one of seven purpose built by KarCraft for the US racing series. Low, wide, sleek with puffed guards and a raked profile. It looked as determined as its pilot and became one of Australia’s most famous and best remembered racing cars of all time. “Over the years friends would ask if you won lotto what car would you buy,” Lou says, “And I would say a 1969 Mustang. They’d then say but you could buy a Lamborghini or a Porsche and I’d say no, it’s a 1969 Ford Mustang and had I not found this car I probably wouldn’t have bought something else.” The family influence of Valiants and Holdens didn’t

Ford man all his life and counts a manual FGX Falcon as his daily driver. “Most people I am friends with or grew up around were fans of Holden and their drivers, while I was the lone Allan Moffat fan with posters of the Trans-Am on the bedroom wall and nowadays in the garage. I have nearly the entire collection of Allan Moffat diecast cars so yeah, I am pretty Moffat focused,” says Lou with a laugh. Seven years ago, Lou acquired a gleaming red 1969 Ford Mustang fastback that looks very close to that of his racing idol. “I still pinch myself even though I’ve had the car for nearly seven years. My wife Maria totally understands it because she has had to put up with me and we have been married 40 years. “In fact it is thanks to her in many ways I now have the Mustang,” claims Lou. “After many years of saying I want a car, she said ‘you’re getting on a bit’ so you better get yourself one and I said to her, ‘I only want one car, a 1969 Ford Mustang fastback.’ “One day I was searching the internet and found that someone had already built it. I showed Maria who told me to go and see it and then asked, how much?” Lou convinced Maria that while it was more than he had budgeted, the beauty of it was he 64

didn’t have to spend any money on it. “I am at the age where I don’t want to buy a project car I’m going to drive in five years time, I want to buy a car that I can drive now so I had to pay a bit more than what I initially thought,” said Lou. When he went to inspect the Mustang Lou took a mate to be impartial as he was buying it with the rose coloured glasses firmly attached. “I said ‘Garry you need to be honest and if you don’t think it’s right you need to tell me’.” Garry was picky and told Lou it was immaculate, so Lou took it for a drive. “It was my first time in a Mustang and I fell in love the moment I saw it because of what it is. It was shipped to Melbourne in 2014. Since sliding the Mustang into his

hydraulic clutch, power assisted brakes and steering. Lou, Maria and their friends, one of whom owns a 1963 Thunderbird, often go for a drive and a coffee in the Dandenongs and Yarra Valley or a longer run to the Mornington Peninsula. “I get out and drive it as often as I can. Hot days are a no-go but I will take it out on a wet day though I prefer not to”, says Lou, “because it isn’t pleasant to drive as the tyres aren’t the best. Lou also joins his fellow Mustang club members at nearby events, and when the mood takes he and Maria they head off for a drive. “With the big twin exhausts it’s loud, especially when you jump on it and go up through the gears and it’s a little bit fumey,” laughs Lou. “And being an old car it drones, but when you are just cruising at 2500rpm in top at 100 km/h it is very quiet. “The Mustang is more fun to drive than I ever imagined and I love the old school long throw of the gear shift. On bumpy roads it gets a bit skittish in the rear due to the leaf springs. On twisty roads the sound and feeling is wonderful. When you have a bit of a go you’ve gotta have your wits about you being an older car it is compromised from a number of different aspects. So I drive the Mustang to the conditions and when I am on my own I drive it differently to when I have Maria in the car with me. TradeUniqueCars.com.au

“Driving through narrow twisty roads on my own and coming out at the end of it I think to myself, ‘Geez that was fun’ and you almost feel like a race driver. I love the twisty bits. I enjoy driving a manual car and to get out and about in the Mustang is fabulous. “In 1971 I was 12 and I bought the car when I was 55 so I have waited a long time for it and although I bought it for me, I am happy for people to sit in it or for kids to jump in as I am not overly precious about it. I love the interaction with people and the smile on their faces when they sit in the car is nice.” About three years ago Lou posted photos of the Mustang on Facebook and was contacted by Chris Topp who, it turns out did the

original resto on the Mustang, turning it into a Moffat tribute car for his wife. When Aaron Seton was competing in the Touring Car Masters in a Mustang at Sandown Chris, who is a mate of race ace Glenn Seton invited Lou to spend a day in the Seton team garage. For Lou it was like being a kid in a candy store and at the end of the day he threw the keys of the Mustang to Chris and his wife, Sue-Ann, who the car was originally built for, and let them go for a drive. Lou said, “they were besides themselves and were so pleased they saw it and drove it again. That was a very special moment with a very special car built as a tribute to a very special driver.”

GREG MARSHALL WALKED INTO CLARIDGE HOLDEN 52 YEARS AGO AND BOUGHT THIS HK MONARO GTS 327. AFTER HALF A CENTURY TOGETHER, IT’S TIME FOR THEM TO PART WAYS. WORDS DAVE CAREY PHOTOS DARREN GERLACH
T
he term ‘one owner’ is a bit overused these days, attached to anything from a two-year-old Kia to a classic that’s been through three family members and a collectible car specialist. Not Greg Marshall’s Silver Mink HK Monaro GTS 327 though; it’s been his and only his since 1969. “I ordered it in March. A friend of mine had one and took me for a bit of a spin in it,” Greg begins. “Actually, we were headed down the Coorong and I was in the passenger seat trying to get some sleep,” he says, momentarily closing his eyes and tilting his head in demonstration. Greg’s eyes suddenly flick back open, wider than before, “I woke up to this incredible roar and spotted the tacho sitting at about 5800 and the speedometer needle well past the 140-mark,” he continues. “I thought ‘This is fantastic; I better have one of these!’” With the statute of limitations for 50-plus year-old Coorong-bound top speed runs presumably over, Greg’s anecdote stands as a bloody good reason for buying Holden’s then-new Bathurst contender. Greg didn’t even get a loan to buy his Aussie muscle car, stating, “I was a saver, not like people now days,” as he opens the boot. Shuffling some papers, Greg extracts the original bill of sale. “It helped I had my HR Premier to trade in,” he concedes as he passes the document for us to photograph. Pausing momentarily, he muses, “Oh, and I was single.” The bill of sale shows the Monaro cost $3840 in 1969 dollars, plus $47 rego, $40 stamp duty, $27.50 CTP and $12.80 to fill the 25-gallon fuel tank. “That’s what Claridge charged to fill it up with fuel. Over ten bucks!” Although Greg laughs, it’s clear he’s still feeling a bit stung despite over half a century passing by. Clarifying his dissatisfaction, he adds, “That was a day’s pay back then. When I first

"THE BILL OF SALE SHOWS THE MONARO GTS 327 COST $3840" bought this, fuel was about 40c per gallon and I was only earning $75 per week!” Aside from an eye-wateringly cheap purchase price by today’s standards, another thing that sticks out; Greg’s trade-in is not just any HR Premier, but an X2 optioned sedan. “I bought it new in 1966,” Greg says. “I think I paid about $2600 or something.” Naturally, Greg owned the X2 outright and Claridge’s offer of $2300 trade-in helped tip him into Monaro GTS 327 ownership. With the HT model set for release in May 1969, new 327s were getting scarce on the ground, but for Greg, it had to be the HK, Holden’s first Bathurst winner. “I’ve still got the little note showing all eight of the 327s
74
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
that were left in January-Feb ’69,” he says as he shuffles some more paperwork. Presenting the note, now laminated for posterity, he gestures briefly to his car, explaining, “This was the one at the top of the list and it had the blue upholstery.” The note shows three Silver Mink cars, including one with a vinyl roof. “The radio was a bit too dear. I had mine put in with the dealer. Besides, I didn’t want the black trim,” he waits a second before adding, “I didn’t want beige either,” over his spectacles. It wasn’t just the Coorong run or the Bathurst results that made the HK special to Greg, it’s also his part in the creation of the car. A machinist by trade, Greg was working at Mitchell &
Cheeseman Toolmaking in Beverley, SA in the mid-late 1960s and helped develop the press tools that made the door strikers, bonnet latches and various other small parts. “We handled work for Holden, Ford, Chryslers, BMC and VW; they were all here then,” Greg says. “But Holdens had the finest tolerances and the best materials in their dies. I wouldn’t have bought anything else.” Popping the bonnet, Greg points out the various parts he was involved in. “One thing I remember very well is the cap for the brake master cylinder,” he says. “We worked on it for about three months. Holden supplied the drawings and all the material; we made the die,
and I did all the machining.” Greg’s handiwork is evident throughout the car, “We were making the dies for the HKs from 1966. It would take around 3-4 years from receiving the drawings to sending the finished product off to Holden so they could start stamping the parts,” he says. While it’s clear that his work on the HK range gave Greg a sense of pride, his partnership with his Bathurst Monaro wasn’t smooth sailing from the outset. “You know, the original Rochester carburettor was flooding when I first bought it,” Greg recalls. “It was all fixed up under warranty by Claridge. They re-set the needle height and I think they replaced the float.” Despite the Monaro being

Greg’s daily driver from May 1969 until Remembrance Day 1982, the mighty Chev never gave him too much trouble. Over the years, Greg replaced the clutch himself and has changed the radiator top hose just once. “That’s the second hose it’s had. It’s never even had the radiator out,” he says. “I flush it every now and then.” When asked about the Monaro’s care regime while it was driven every day, Greg’s response is surprisingly simple. “I always used to have a rug on the parcel shelf, otherwise the sun just kills the back seats,” he says. “And I’d put a towel across the dashboard

and keep the window cracked. Other than that, all I ever really did was clean it.” Greg did plenty of country trips during the Monaro’s 13-year tenure as a daily driver, “I used to do a lot of skiing up the River Murray. Three of my friends had shacks along there, so from September to April, we’d be going up the River practically every weekend,” he says. “And I always used to take the Monaro. It’s very good on the open road – very, very quick and accelerates beautifully – like a sports car, except it has four seats.” Not that the rear seats have had much of a

RACE BRED FOR RACING homologation, CAMS required 500 similar cars be made, but options like seats and diff ratios were relatively free. The Australian Racing Drivers’ Club (ARDC) had supplementary regulations over and above CAMS’ own sup regs that required no less than 200 cars within the 500 be more or less identical, right down to diff ratios and seating configurations. With Holden discovering their 327 production was split roughly 50-50 between the 3.08:1 and the 3.36:1 rear end, and a similar split for fixed back versus reclining bucket seats, more cars had to be built or Bathurst eligibility would not be forthcoming. Complicating matters, the 327ci V8 out of the Tonawanda Engine Plant in Buffalo, New York, ceased production around August 1968 and Holden’s stocks were exhausted by December of that year. The engine in Greg Marshall’s GTS 327 was built on 6 November 1968 and is the second type, evidenced by the oil filler on the rocker cover and the alternator on the driver’s side. Sourced from McKinnon Industries Limited, a subsidiary of General Motors Canada, these engines were specially built for GMH with a four-barrel intake manifold sourced from Tonawanda. Small differences between the powerplants, such as the oil filler moving from the inlet manifold to the driver’s side rocker cover, were detailed in a Nasco bulletin dated 9 December 1968. CAMS did not require a second homologation application, meaning all of the approximately 1192 Monaro GTSes built with the 327ci option were eligible for competition.

"THEY'D PUSHED IT ABOUT 150 METRES DOWN THE ROAD AND WERE PRETTY POOPED" workout, Greg admits. He retired the Monaro around the same time his kids came along, so he never felt forced to install rear seat belts. What’s truly jaw dropping about Greg’s Monaro is it has only ever left SA once, and that was before Greg even clapped eyes on it. Made at Holden’s Elizabeth factory in SA, the Monaro was dispatched to NSW to become dealer stock, as did the seven other cars on the
list. Once Greg placed his order, it was returned to SA, where it’s stayed ever since. “It’s home grown,” he adds with a laugh. Thanks to some undesirable citizens, there have been at least two instances where it could have left the state, although not with Greg’s approval. Luckily, Greg had measures in place to prevent the theft of his beloved Monaro. “The first time was when I was

living in Royston Park. I got home late one night, and I thought, ‘No I won’t put it in the garage, I’ll leave it out the front’. Next morning, I opened the front door and blow me down, it wasn’t there,” Greg says as he twists an invisible doorknob. “Fortunately, it wasn’t far.” Greg had installed a capacitive discharge ignition system which included a kill switch, preventing the would-be car thieves from
getting it going. Chuckling at the thought, he says, “They’d pushed it about 150 metres down the road and I imagine they were pretty pooped at that stage, so they gave up.” After the first scare, Greg upped the ante, installing an early car alarm. “It was made by Ademco in New York; the same company that made police sirens,” he says. Activated using a separate key that went straight into the unit he’d installed under
the seat, Greg continues. “Once you opened the door, you had 15 seconds to disarm it.” The device was put to the test at Adelaide Uni, although not under controlled conditions. “I was doing a course late one night and when I came out, I could hear this wailing and thought, ‘Hell, that’s my car!’” Greg discovered the Monaro’s ignition half disassembled and believes the thieves were going to plug another ignition switch
“I’D HAD a few sleepless nights before I picked it up, I was so excited. Claridge had the car around the back; they didn’t want people fiddling with it and touching it,” Greg recalls of the day he picked it up. “It was Saturday morning and I had the whole weekend ahead of me. I started it up and away I went. I felt like I was king of the world.”
in there and off they’d go, his Monaro never to be seen again. “They got as far as they could in the 15 seconds,” Greg says as he delivers another chuckle of devilish glee, “That’s when the alarm would have gone off.” It’s safe to say that there were plenty of Monaro owners who weren’t so lucky, or more correctly, didn’t have the foresight Greg had to protect his Aussie icon. The Monaro remained in his care
THE SALESMAN at Claridge Holden gave Greg this list of the eight remaining 327-equipped Monaros in stock as at March 1969. Not keen on the black trim, nor the Buckskin beige, Greg opted the for the first car; a Silver Mink GTS with Jacana blue trim and reclining bucket seats. Believe it or not, the mix of fixed-back or reclining bucket seats was another bugbear of the ARDC, who wanted 200 cars built with one or the other before granting Bathurst eligibility.

"I'VE ASKED THE GREAT MAN WHO SAID YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU" for over half a century, despite the best efforts of some, but Greg’s era is over; he’s ready for someone else to own the car, legitimately this time. If this Bathurst legend looks like a bit of you, you’re too late; a deal has already been brokered. “I’ve had it for 52 years and one month, and it’s going to go to someone who is more of a collector; someone who will look after it, so…why not?” Greg plans to do some travel once the borders free up and besides, he’s already consulted God about the car. “I’ve asked the Great Man and he said ‘you can’t take it with you…’” After a moment, I realise there’s really only one response to that, “Greg, if there are no HK Monaros in heaven, I don’t want to go.”

ith the prices of our go-to Holden, Ford and Valiants of just about any vintage rising by the minute, it pays to look at the left of field examples if you’re hunting for a classic on a modest budget. A perfect example of this is the locally built R31 Nissan Skyline. Despite winning Modern Motor Magazine’s (now known as MOTOR Magazine) Car of the Year Award on debut in 1986, the R31 was often referred to as the smaller, boxier and uglier cousin to the VL Commodore, with which it shared the same 3.0-litre Nissan RB30 straight six powerplant. This was the seventh generation of the Skyline, and marked the start and end of Nissan’s fully fledged assault on the highly competitive family sedan market in Australia. Nissan invested millions into their Clayton assembly plant, where the R31 Skyline and lower-spec four cylinder Pintara sedan and wagon were built from 1986-1990, after which Nissan shut shop on local manufacturing. The R31 struggled in the sales figures against much more popular XF Falcon and VL Commodore, largely thought to be due an undersized interior and the boxy 80s exterior. However time has been kind to the R31, and those shortcomings are now irrelevant and seen as cool classic quirks.
W
As mentioned, all variants of the Australian built R31 Skyline came fitted with Nissan’s smooth and brilliant SOHC, 3.0-litre straight six RB30 also used in the VL Commodore. The R31 also uses same four-speed auto or five-speed manual transmissions found in the VL, but sadly the R31 missed out on the turbocharged version of the RB30 that turned the VL into a cult icon. To keep production costs down, the independent rear end suspension used in the Japanese versions of the R31 had to be binned for a Borgwarner live axle unit, also using locally sourced disc brakes and steering racks. During its production run the R31 Skyline went through three generation changes, the most important being the facelift from Series 2 to Series 3 late in 1988, with a more modern front end and the addition of quad lamp tail lights known by enthusiasts as ‘hot plates’, a look associated all over the world with the Skyline name. Trim levels started at the basic Executive level, moving slightly up spec to GX and GXE before the top of the range sporty Silhouette and luxury Ti models. The Silhouette scored 15-inch alloy wheels, two-tone paint, a rear spoiler, buckets seats and critically an LSD rear end, while the Ti took on a Calais guise with power everything, auto-only transmission and plush velour upholstery.

The most desirable iteration of the Aussie R31 is the limited edition SVD-built Silhouette GTS. SVD (Special Vehicle Division) was Nissan Australia’s in-house tuning company that was responsible for Nissan’s motorsport efforts in Australia through Gibson Motosport. Two generations were made of the Silhouette GTS, commonly referred to as GTS1 and GTS2. The GTS1 was the first, with all cars painted in white and manual only with a special bodykit, bigger 16-inch wheels, super comfortable bucket seats and a power increase thanks to a different camshaft, exhaust and piggy-back ECU. The later GTS2 was facelifted and only offered in red, also with a unique bodykit, wheels, upgraded Bilstein suspension and even more power thanks again to a beefier camshaft and tuning tweaks.

generation built, examples are hard to come by. Due to the R31 being made and sold in Australia, the grey market import scene for the HR31 Japanese variants is small compared to later model Skyline’s and Silvia’s. The main thing we missed out on was the HR31 coupe and Passage sedans, Japanese-exclusive models which featured the 2.0-litre, dual overhead cam RB20DET turbo straight six in the higher spec GTS-X trim levels. The irony to that is while we missed out on coupes in local showrooms, Nissan Australia designed and built the R31 wagon specifically for our market. It was the last wagon to wear a Skyline badge and ended up being sold in Japan in limited numbers. Despite being outsold by rival Commodores and Falcons of the time, the R31 Skyline still left dealerships in solid enough numbers that there’s still a decent amount in circulation today. They

However, being less desirable than the later and sleeker R32, R33 and R34 models means R31 prices bottomed out for years before a recent jump, leaving them prone to young buyers who thinned the herd of clean examples by turning them into budget P plate drift machines. The main things to watch out include rust behind the front guards and underneath the bottom of the windscreen. The LSD rear ends were also known to

THE CLASSIC CAR MARKET IS BOOMING, MAKING SELLING ONE POTENTIALLY A WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE... IN FRUSTRATION. WORDS PHILIP LORD PHOTOS PHILIP LORD RANGE ROVER
t all started at Christmas. The P38A Range Rover I bought before the COVID chain and padlock hit the world, was getting a dash-out, A/C blend motor replacement. Somebody will pipe up to say they can do this job in 17 minutes, including time to down a couple of Scotch and Cokes. But I had other fiddly repairs to do while the dash was out. I’m also approaching an age where it seems a torch and glasses are necessary just to tie my shoelaces. The job took two long, slow weeks from break down to button up. It was during her open dash surgery that my love affair with the Range Rover cooled. I had already spent much of the locked-down months obsessively fettling the Rangie. It had
I
arrived at Lord manor a bit weather-beaten, but with good bones. With the work I’d done, the Rangie was not perfect but looked and drove like a much younger car than its 20 years. In January, a fine example of a rare (okay obscure, unloved and unwanted) classic came up. But I really wanted it. I considered keeping the Rangie too, but there wasn’t enough garage room for both. Also, a new arrival in the garage (without first a subtraction) may cause my ‘significant other’ to deem me an insignificant other, preferably living elsewhere. As it turned out, it didn’t matter. I realised that the love for my English Patient had gone, and I couldn’t seem to get it back. I still felt a sense of betrayal as I put the Rangie up for sale.

Within 30 minutes of the ad going live, the calls, texts and emails began to flood in. This was not the first time I had advertised a car in the digital age. I was expecting emails or texts along the lines of, “Will you take $30? I have cash ready to go”. More frustrating were the stock, hit-a-button questions I received, such as “I am interested in your ad”, and nothing else. I’m pretty sure they were sent by four year-olds playing with a parent’s iPad, but I was tempted to reply, “I’m so pleased my ad got your interest. I spent hours on it.” What else can you say? When a prospective buyer makes the effort to phone you, it is a good sign. This time, that wasn’t such a good sign. For the first several callers, I gave the long-winded story on the car’s background, what I had done to it, and so on. Soon, my voice became hoarse from talking so much. Some people called back to ask extra questions. I started to think I’d better write people’s names down, because I forget who I was talking to. There were so many of them. The car sold twice, in the first 24 hours. The first buyer had called, then later texted an offer. I thought it was fair, and agreed. To which he said he’d take the car, ‘subject to finance’. Oh. No thanks. So straight to the second, interstate buyer, who already
said he’d buy the car for the same price if the first deal fell through. I sent about 100 photos of the car to the bloke, answered several text messages and got and gave details for the sale to proceed. As I was checking to see if the money had come into my account, a text came though. The buyer had changed his mind, on the basis that he heard that the P38A Range Rover could have lots of problems. Right, well, yes of course. As the days wore on, more buyers called and the selling blurb I gave got more and more pointed. I hardly had any voice left, or much of a will to live by that point. At day five of the ad going live, I had another interstate buyer phone. I gave him a video tour of the car. He said he would send a deposit straight away. Meanwhile, the calls kept on coming. There was the caller whose only question was, in other circumstances, not unreasonable. But by this point, being call number 30 or so, the question, “Have any dogs ever been in the car?”, almost sent me into a mad, delirious giggle. I was tempted to reply, “Only my driver, Fido.” The next day, not quite a week since the ad went live, with calls, texts and messages still streaming in, I pulled the ad offline. It already had more than 1000 page views. The deposit hadn’t landed in my account yet, but I needed

“SELLING A CLASSIC IN 2019 WAS FAR EASIER” some time off from answering calls. I was well and truly over it. Three days later, the deposit still hadn’t hit my account. It turns out the EFT electrons were humping their way from a bank somewhere north of Nigeria. So a deposit on Monday really meant roughly lunchtime Tuesday, AEST. The things you never think to clarify when selling a car. Selling a classic in 2019 was far easier. Back then, I had a 1984 WB Statesman for sale online for three weeks, with about 600 page views.

were time-wasters – you expect that. But eventually a bloke turned up, and within 48 hours he actually paid for the car and drove it away. Just like that. Despite my earlier misgivings, the bloke buying the Rangie with the EFT from an overseas account was genuine and the sale did go though. With an empty space in the garage, it’s time get back in touch with the seller of that oddball classic I saw in January. Now the shoe is on the other hoof, I’m tempted to fire off an email with just one question. “Is this still available?”

TOP Looking for a tow truck? BELOW The 180B superseded the 1600.
et’s get a few things straight right from the green flag: I like old Datsuns. Yes, I’m a bit of a Toyota fan-boy when it comes to elderly J-tin, and there’s a soft spot in my black old heart for elderly Mitsubishis, too. Old school Mazda rotaries with ports like manholes? Gimme gimme. Point being, there’d be room at the Melbourne Bloke Centre any time for a Datto 1600, a 1200 ute or, even better, a 240Z. I’d even consider a 180B (but it’d have to be a SSS) and maybe even a Stanza, ‘cos I like the box-it-came-in look (although I’d chop it up and mod it within the first few minutes). But I can tell you that there are a few old Datsuns that have no hope of getting through the B and D at the MBC. The 200B would be one of those. My old man, in

an act of lunacy that has had me shaking my head for four decades now, once traded a 253-cube HQ manual on a 200B. Why? Who the hell knows? Okay, so dear old Dad was never what you’d call a car guy. But he wasn’t a real estate genius either, yet I don’t remember him selling our double-fronted brick-and-tile to move us into a dog kennel. Of course, the other Datsun that has even less chance of ever darkening the MBC’s oil-stained doorstep is the dreaded 120Y. Now, I know these things have recently become some kind of urban-dwelling-hipster talisman, but I don’t care. The 120Y has always been, and will forever be, a nasty, flimsy, ill-conceived, cynical pile of poo. What’s that? You own one and love it? Good for you. You might even be a decent human being.

TOP 120Y interior wasn’t made to last. LEFT Stanza’s boxy shape has some appeal.
your car sucks the bag. I recently had the misfortune to spend some time throwing spanners at a 120Y. Long story…best you don’t ask, but it involved Torrens, so figure it out. Torrens remains one of those revisionist historians who is prepared to give the 120Y another chance at not making people puke. He is wrong on this, but I digress. The first thing I noticed when taking a long, hard, critical look at the Dattto’s under-dungers was just how spindly it was. The bolts in the rear spring shackles were about the same grade and size as I’d specify for hanging a picture on a wall. And the more you looked, the worse it got. The front lower control arms are skimpier than a Kalgoorlie barmaid, and the whole front end looks like it
“THE WHOLE FRONT END LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OFF BARBIE’S JEEP” came off Barbie’s Jeep. The rear bumper is attached by two (count ‘em) 12mm nuts. No kidding! Inside, the interior
plastics had done the typical 70s-Japanese thing of disintegrating. The dash looked like a dry lake bed and the rest of the plastic
trim had either melted or turned to the dusty, crumbly consistency of a dead moth’s wing. But look a bit closer and it was possible to see exactly where Datsun had pulled a few more precious Yen out of the bastard thing. Not only was the vinyl on the door cards the cheapest, nastiest stuff available, the actual Masonite backing boards were thinner than a supermodel’s breakfast order. But, for me, the real killer punch was the carpet. In fact, the loosely-woven crapola that passed for carpet looked and felt more like hessian. And, yes, I know that this carpet was nearly 50 years old and had been sun-raped for most of that time, but still. And besides, I happen to know that even when brand-new, the carpet in a 120Y was hardly worthy of the name. How do I know?

Because my grandad bought a 120Y brand-new in 1974. Yep, Christmas dinner at Chez Morley was no place for a tappet-head when I was growing up. No wonder I became a motoring journo… probably as a means of attempting to understand my family’s obsession with mediocrity. Anyway, Grandad’s 120Y was, from the moment he bought it, a complete waste of driveway real estate. Crappy carpet, and all. Here was a car so bereft of performance that walking was faster, so devoid of charisma that walking was a comparative cultural experience. In fact, here was a car that made walking the natural choice. Not only did it fall apart in every imaginable way, it also rusted in real

time. It was burnt orange. Should’ve just been burnt. The thing I don’t get is why you’d pay the same money for a 120 WHY that you would for any number of worthier rides. But this wouldn’t be the first time that reality
for these horrors makes me think that some people just have no skill at holding a grudge. Me? I’m more than happy to neither forgive nor forget when it comes to the Datsun 120Y. I know we’ve talked about
“IT WAS BURNT ORANGE. SHOULD HAVE JUST BEEN BURNT” has been subverted by the rose-tinted mists of nostalgia. I mean, right now, the mullet is making a comeback as a sartorial statement. The Mullet, ferchrissakes! The fact that Torrens – or anybody else – still has time
weird engines in the past, and in particular the cult of the two-stroke diesel. Within that discussion, we’ve touched on the GM, Screaming Jimmy, family of engines, as well as the rather less common Commer Knocker. So imagine
my surprise a little while ago when, as I staggered around a recently-acquired mate’s workshop, I spotted the engine in these pics dumped on the shop floor. My new mate Pete figured he’d give me a little pop quiz and test my car-guy credentials. So what’s that thing, he asked pointing at the Knocker. Commer Knocker, says I, and I reckon you could have floored him with a feather. Turns out not too many visitors to his place have any idea what the big old lump of cast iron is. But thanks to this magazine and you lot, I was able to make him smile. The engine itself was one Old Mate salvaged from a pile of scrap that was due to be cubed at the local scrappy’s. Pete figured out
TOP Commer Knocker-the holy grail. BELOW Commer TS3 Diesel Engine
what it was and knew that it was just too weird and too cool for that to happen. So he dragged it home and there it has sat ever since. He doesn’t know what he’s going to do with it, nor does he care. It’s a Commer Knocker and, therefore, it deserves somewhere to see out its time on earth.
Speaking of which, it’s useful life as an engine appears to be long gone. It’s seized up and one of the con-rods and rockers from the crankshaft assembly is missing, presumed dead. I’d love to hear it running, but to be honest, just seeing one in the flesh is pretty cool, too.

NUTS ‘N’ BOLTS kay, I thought this time around I’d revisit one of my pet hates, which is seeing a carefully rebuilt engine held together with old and sad looking bolts. To me, it’s a huge wasted opportunity to make a real visual impact with very little extra expense and trouble. Particularly these days, when there are hordes of suppliers out there offering alternatives. Now the more experienced among you may well be aware there are many different types and styles of fasteners out there, including the usual metric, SAE, Whitworth and so-on. The world was meant to go completely metric 30 or more years ago, but it never really happened. What we got was what they call a soft conversion – some areas ‘took’, others didn’t. You can still get tools and components for all those types of bolts (though Whitworth has got tougher over the years), and you may need specialist advice, as this will often be beyond your corner auto store. A dedicated tool shop and/or bolt shop is often the go. You might have heard it before, but the right tool
O
110
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
makes all the difference. So, use a metric spanner on a metric head, or an imperial/SAE on that sort of bolt. Mixing and matching never really works, particularly when there’s a bit of force required. Use the wrong one and you end up with rounded bolts and skinned knuckles. Speaking of rounded bolts, I’m a fan of some socket kits sold by Wurth, which have a spiral-machined inner and are designed specifically for removing nuts or bolts with damaged heads. The maker describes them as twist sockets and they are incredibly tenacious. In fact, the kit is supplied with a little punch to remove the offending item from the socket, once you have it off. They’re not cheap – I recall around $250 for a set of 14, but I reckon it pays for itself the first time you use it. When it comes to doing up an engine, I like to do a few things. For a start it pays to take the trouble to clean out the threads, so any new bolt isn’t picking up swarf or debris that does damage. Secondly, I like to send off the original bolts (if they’re still okay) to be cleaned and nickel-plated. They’re often kept as a stand-by. Sometimes there might be just one case where you have to have the original. I’ll also order in a fresh set of stainless bolts, particularly for areas that are on show. It’s only a little thing, but makes a huge difference to the overall finish. You can get sets for a lot of engines and they don’t necessarily cost a fortune. It’s money wellinvested.
Ghia Keeper? I recently bought a 1999 Fairlane Ghia with six-cylinder Tickford engine (running on lpg or petrol) for $3000. The body is very straight and the interior is in good condition, all the electrics work and it has full service record since new. Mechanically it is in good condition even though it has done 270,000kms. The left rear door however will not open either from the inside or outside suggesting the door catch is broken or disconnected. Do you have any tips for removing the inside door panel? The main problem I have is getting access to the clips at the bottom. Although this car was bought as a cheap run around car (I have two classic cars under cover) I am wondering if there is any indication that this model will become collectable and increase in value in the next few years? I enjoy your column with its down-to-earth advice.
*DUU\ :LOVRQ¢
IT’S POSSIBLE you have two problems with the door – one being the outer catch is broken and the second being the child lock for the inner is stuck on. In any case those trims are a bit of a bugger to remove and require lots of patience. Believe it or not, sometimes pulling out the lower rear seat will help by giving you more elbow room. You work from the lower edge and might have to accept you will break clips along the way. You should be able to find replacements. I don’t see that model becoming collectible, so it’s a case if you like hang on to it. Good luck with it.
Coughing XR Hi, we’ve got a bit of a problem with a 289 XR Falcon V8 that
ABOVE Nice car to get around in, but not really on the collector radar.
we’ve just put back together. Aside from a mild cam, it’s fairly standard with a 650 Holley and an electronic ignition. It fires up okay, but won’t keep running smoothly. It is instead coughing and spluttering. It’s getting fuel and air, the carburettor settings seem about right, and there seems to be spark. Any thoughts? Dave Carlson
THAT SOUNDS like a similar issue to a Mustang we’ve had in recently. All nicely set-up, but sounding like it had the flu. We tracked the problem to the electronic ignition conversion, which was kind of half-baked. The distributor now had an electronic trigger fitted, but the old wiring and coil were still in place to look original, so the voltage was incorrect. When you do a conversion, you need to go end-to-end on the ignition,
making sure everything is matched and getting what it needs – something we emphasised in a recent story with Performance Ignition Services. I’m pretty sure that’s where you’ll find your problem. Let us know how you get on.
Mechanical Carpentry In relation to Rob Blackburn’s story about the A-model Ford with the timber piston: When I attended Gymea Tech College, in the early 1960s, as part of my mechanic’s apprenticeship the resident teacher, a Mr John Dare, related this story to the class. When the question of the type of timber used was raised, we were assured that Gidgee wood (the third hardest wood in the world) was the chosen timber. The story goes on to say that when the cylinder head was removed when a replacement piston had been procured it was discovered that the timber piston was in such condition that the decision was made not to replace the gidgee wood piston at that time Gidgee wood is so dense it weighs 1300kg per cubic metre
ELECTRIC POPE Though details are scant, The Pope Manufacturing Company in the USA (which tried its hand at most things) is credited with conducting the first media launch of a car. This was in 1897, for an electric vehicle. In a less than auspicious start for the electric vehicle industry, they built 500 in two years before selling off the design.

LOVE ME TENDER We keep hearing reports of people having disasters with battery tenders, varying from meltdowns of the battery itself, though to fires. A couple of quick tips. First, if you value your shed, buy a quality unit. Second, I’m not a fan of having them going 24/7 – put them on a timer. An hour or two a day will suit most purposes. Last, make sure you’re using the correct charger for the type of battery.

Mick’s workshop tip using pine-o-cleen to clean the cooling system is one I had not heard of. I thought as a motor mechanic for sixty years, 1961 until 2020, I had heard all the tips and tricks in the industry but you find you are never too old to learn something new! I have used washing soda with great success to clean cooling systems, just break it up so that it will go into the neck of the radiator, put a good handful in, top up with water and run the engine for a while or drive for 10 or 15 kilometres then pull the lower hose off from the radiator so it drains quickly, if necessary repeat the procedure I look forward to the magazine arriving each month Carl Dahl-Helm Darwin NT
the Pine-o-Cleen option, as it seems benign. Remember it has to be the ‘brown’ version – don’t ask me why! I LOVE the specifics in the wooden piston story, Carl, such as the density of the wood. Nevertheless, I’m afraid not a believer. I suspect that, density or not, it’s going to get toasted. We looked it up and apparently Gidgee wood is muchfavoured by the barbecue and meat-smoking set, as it burns very hot for a long period of time. That’s not so good in an engine. I can well believe washing soda would work as a flush in cooling systems, though you’d want to be sure that we’re talking iron and steel systems only. As you probably know, washing soda (or sodium carbonate) has a tendency to strip aluminium. That’s why I like
More Mechanical Carpentry I can relate to Rob Blackbourn’s past experiences with Henry Ford’s transverse leaf spring suspension; In Rob’s case relative to a 1934 model V8. (Last issue, Rob related a story of having to do a dodgy roadside repair, which replaced the missing leaf springs out of the front of his old Ford with a length of Eucalypt – Ed.) My late father owned a 1940 ‘Deluxe’ V8, back in the 1950s with the identical radius rod and spring set up. Ford US stayed with that design on their cars till the more modern 1949 model was introduced.
ABOVE You would have been king of the street with one of these back in 1940.
Issues my Dad had with the front spring assembly related entirely to the state of the dirt roads servicing the numerous sawmill settlements on the Eastern Dorrigo. From where we lived it was just over 50km to the nearest major town, which was Coffs Harbour, and that was a 75 minute trip. Corrugations and potholes were standard fair plus a good smattering of dust. After numerous failures of the main leaf in the front spring assembly, my old man used the sawmill workshop to modify an extra leaf to fit immediately under the existing main leaf. A couple of guide brackets were added for location security, but after that was installed the front end worries were gone forever. Eric Waples
I LIKE THE idea of the extra spring leaf. One of its effects would have been to slow down the oscillation of the assembly over corrugations and I can easily believe it would have worked a treat.
Floored Batteries Have read with interest the discussions on battery life and discharging when placed on concrete floors. Back in the day, while working at a boarding school in Fiji, I had the task of installing a large generating set in the plant room. It came with two large 12 volt batteries. They sat on the concrete floor for nearly two and a half months while
we did the rather difficult installation. Once ready, we connected the batteries and hit the starter button. The big diesel roared into life. I recently had a good run with car battery – nine and half years in a Toyota Echo that had 320,000km on it before I disposed of it. Fred Cracknell AH, THE old battery debate – do they go dead faster if left on a concrete floor? I’m not convinced this was ever solved to anyone’s complete satisfaction. However I suspect the temperture of the floor rather than the material might be more significant, given lead-acid batteries in particular aren’t fond of the cold. In any case that’s a respectable life out of the Echo. Well done.

ON PATROL HOW A HUMBLE SKYLINE EXECUTIVE WAS TURNED INTO A REPLICA OF A RARE COP VARIANT he first time I saw this car it was covered in fingerprint dust. I had another car in at the repairer, getting some paint done. Being a Skyline enthusiast, I asked about it and apparently it had been broken into and had some damage and the owner wanted to get rid of it. I contacted him and we worked out a deal. The family has other Skylines – my GTS has featured in

Unique Cars in the past – and this seemd a good opportunity to do something a little different. The basic Executive isn’t the prettiest thing and, like a lot of people, I’ve got a fascination for old police vehicles. Nissan Special Vehicles made six of these for the Victoria Police. They also did a number of cars for the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, and I’ve seen those before, but I hadn’t seen

any of the police versions getting around. These were a Highway Patrol car, non-turbo, but otherwise a lot in common with the pursuit cars. They were lowered, had Bilstein suspension, 15-inch wheels and were a standard-looking car with a lot of the GTS bits in them. This was a great car to work with. It only had 75,000km on it, so it was still as tight as a drum. While this wasn’t a big top-to-toe restoration like my GTS, there was still a fair bit to do. When I first got it, I couldn’t tell how it drove as all the

The airbox was gone and had been replaced by a pod filter, so I reversed that modfication – it didn’t look right. We went to replace the headers and found out – as is common with the RB30 engine – it had a number of broken exhuast studs. And when we went to remove them we found out someone had previously

A common thing with eighties and nineties cars is the seat fabric goes really loose on them. I used to think it was the fabric stretching, but it is in fact the foam underneath slowly disintegrating. We pulled all the seats out and redid them. For an eighties car, the whole effect is reasonably tasteful. These cars came well-equipped. For example, they all had tachos – even the Executive. We removed all the suspenson so we could

to have a period SAAS item sitting in the shed, so it seemed like a good opportunity to add a bit of glamour to the car. Where my GTS had some big issues with rust and some questionable repairs to the A-pillars, this one seems to have been a dry climate car and it had no issues when it came to rust. I think the whole set-up and apperarance is a big improvement over the standard car, and it looks pretty close to the originals. With the new suspension set-up, it’s lower and a little stiffer, it handles a lot better. The four-speed auto is very smooth, even by today’s standards, so it’s a really nice thing to drive.

INSIDE STORY AN INTERIOR TRANSPLANT AND DASH RESTORATION FOR HIS FARM-FIND COMMODORE HAS GLENN TORRENS SITTING PRETTY WORDS & PHOTOS GLENN TORRENS
EVEN BEFORE I’d collected my 1979 VB Commodore V8 sport-pack sedan from my mate Paul in mid-2020, I’d begun buying the parts for its resurrection. Months prior, during a weekend road trip to Queensland with Morley (to collect a motor for his
Celica) when we’d driven past, I’d inspected my ‘new’ Commodore in Paul’s back paddock. I knew the interior was pretty-much destroyed: The dash and its binnacle was warped and cracked like a Hawaiian volcano’s lava; the
seat vinyl so brittle that it shattered like the surface of an icy puddle and the carpet and headlining were rotted and torn. My plan, obviously, was to replace everything. Thankfully, I live local to a couple of well-stocked Commodore wrecking yards.
01 Interior resto almost done: dash replaced, air-con fitted, instrument cluster re-furbed (with LED lights, too!) and Ausclassics premium cut-pile carpet – with correct heel mat - installed

02 This is what I began with. As you can see, 40 years – including 20 years dumped in a paddock under sizzling summers and wet winters – the trim was reduced to rubbish 03 Using mail-order replacements from Australian Door Cards, I was able to easily restore my door trims. Luckily for me, the 41-yearold vinyl was in excellent condition 04 At times it is hard to pick the rust from the dust.

06 At one of these yards there was a ’79 Commodore that I raided for its four door trims, headlining and seats. I required a dashboard and instrument binnacle, too, buying these from a car being parted-out locally in a backyard. With those parts in-hand, I had the basics for a restored interior.
However, the new parts were coloured Buckskin: Holden’s creamy beige. My car’s original interior colour was green and after 40 years, finding parts for the less-popular green trim is difficult so I decided to change the interior colour. After being outdoors in a wrecking yard for years, the Masonite-type door cards
09 I’d bought were rotted and warped. I ordered brand new ones, transplanting the vinyl facings and the doortop ‘metals’ from old to new. Thanks to a few Facebook buy/ sell pages, I found a steering wheel in Melbourne and a horn pad – a one-year only VB-series part – from Perth! It was around this time,
too, that I changed my tack with the interior: At first, I was going to ‘rebuild’ the interior to a similar rough-and-ready - but safe and road-worthy condition to the car’s exterior. But after seeing how nice the now Buckskin-coloured dash and door cards looked after being restored - and after Morley offered me his

proofing. I also decided to install air-conditioning. The first Commodores had an optional but complex fully integrated air-con; I have this system in my Commodore SL wagon. However, Holden changed to a simpler air-conditioning system for some later series
“THIS WILL BE A GENUINELY NICE PLACE TO CRUISE” cars and with a bit of muckingaround, it can be retro-fitted to the earlier cars, too. I raided a Commodore wreck for all the air-con’s under-dash components. I’ll install the engine bay components – the compressor, condenser and pressure lines – after I re-register the car. After repairing my Commodore’s rust and replicating the factory-type sound deadening to the cabin and boot floor, I made the modifications for the aircon system before fitting the restored and resurrected parts: dash, instrument binnacle, door trims headlining and seats. I reckon the interior of this Commodore will be a genuinely nice place to cruise!

WHAT DO YOU RECKON?
WHAT DO YOU RECKON? BREAKING DOWN IS PART OF CLASSIC CAR LIFE. BUT FOR GLENN TORRENS, IT’S NOT ALWAYS AS ‘CONVENIENT’ AS SIMPLY RUNNING OUT OF JUICE IN A RARE display of disloyalty – and almost as a middle finger to my recent writings about bushfixes – my brown 1979 VB Commodore SL wagon ‘failed to proceed’ recently. Since buying this six-cylinder 1980s family wagon three years ago, I have replaced the dangerously worn suspension, tidied the interior and got the air conditioning working again. It’s a nice one-day-a-fortnight cruiser and I’ve rolled the odo more than 10,000km without any random issues. So, I was a bit perplexed when it spluttered to a stop in a shopping centre car-park. Luckily for me, I’d pulled on the handbrake and popped it into Park about one second before it coughed and stalled. In fact, although I’d thought ‘what was that?!’ I didn’t quite realise a problem until after I’d been shopping and tried to start the car to go home. The Commodore cranked but didn’t fire. A fiddle under the bonnet soon revealed no spark – which meant either the coil or (aftermarket) electronic ignition had died. An hour later, the Shannons Roadside Assist towie had plonked my car in my driveway, so I could figure out what was wrong. When diagnosing cars,
it’s always good to be ready to deal with ‘hard’ but begin with ‘easy’ stuff, such as replacing an old coil. That’s where I began and abracadabra! The Commodore was working. It’s been a big, bad couple of months for my cars; recently my yellow ’89 Mitsi Pajero’s engine started making horrible noises about 130km from home. To cut a long story short, I limped it home; a cruise of two hours along the freeway with its emergency flashers on (sorry for anyone I inconvenienced that day!). Adding to my disappointment was the fact that it was the Pajero’s first trip further than 50km from home since I recommissioned it in early 2019. In fact, I’d daily-ed it around town for about 2000km, more or less to ensure there would be no dramas when I took it for a bush camping trek. But I can be glass-halffull about the situation: the engine died on the last afternoon of a five-day trek and not on the first morning! This recent ‘luck’ – having my Commodore die just seconds after I’d safely parked it, and my being able to limp my Pajero home without any overnight stays or horrible costs – got me thinking
PHOTO GE TTY IMAGES
about how bad breakdown situations can sometimes be. My worst? It wasn’t a cool old historic car, but my latermodel (but 420,000km) Toyota Hilux. After saying cheerio to travelling companions after a 10-day 4WD tour of the NSW south east forests, I left for home detouring a little to the magnificent Snowy Mountains for one last night in the bush. After a beer at the hotel in Adaminaby, I ventured another hour or so to eventually pop-up my tent in a remote area of the Kosciuszko National Park. The next morning, my
trusty Hilux wouldn’t start, leaving me with (once again, I’ll cut a long story short) a whole day of attempting a bush fix of the fuel pump and, after I flagged-down some dirt-bike riders to call a park ranger on my behalf – I was out of mobile range – a hefty towing bill back to town. And, instead of Saturday morning, I arrived home Tuesday evening! Sure, it was a bit shit, but it could have been far worse if there was no pub in Adaminaby to enjoy for three days while I waited for the parts to arrive!

MICK – OUR resident mechanical guru – was visuallising what happened back in 1979 when the first owner of the mighty Kingswood strolled into the showroom and slapped down the hard-earned desposit. “They indulged themselves by ordering the 253 V8, but that was it – no power steering and certainly no air-conditioning. Didn’t need those things. The power steer would have cost $200 extra.” He’s right, and when partner in crime Ms M Snr and I slapped down a deposit on it, just three years later in a used car lot, it still seemed like a perfectly resonable proposition. However none of us has got any
younger and, while I’m big and ugly enough to wrestle the monster into a reverse parking spot, the somewhat more petite Ms M is working a whole lot harder. And, over the years, we’ve been spoiled. In our mini fleet of liabilities, this was the stand-out as the only car with no power tiller. It was time to bite the bullet and do something about it. The last time I looked at this was probably a couple of decades ago, when the cost was $1500. At the time, it was more than we were prepared to spend, particularly with things like mortgages taking priority. When I asked Mick this time the
answer was, “Around $2200 (it was acutally a touch less), I’ll start chasing the parts this afternoon.” Notice the affirmative approach? He was right – we were long overdue to do this and making the car just that little more driveable would be no bad thing. Mick assures us this is a job that can be tackled at home, so long as you’re methodical

TOP Yep, you can tackle it at home and a hoist makes the whole job much easier.
"FOR A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS IT SHOULD LAST 40 YEARS" The good news is you can switch pulleys without having to pull out radiators or anything else major – there is more than enough room. Tip number one: “Send the set-up away to be resealed. There’s about a 50 per cent chance it won’t leak when you first fit it, but a 100 per cent chance it will further down the road,” says Mick. “For a few hundred dollars you’ll have fresh seals and hoses and it should last another 40 years.” 132
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
The hoses by the way need to be the right material. Fuel hose doesn’t cut it and will get eaten away by the fluid. Next tip: Have the steering on the car centred before you pull it apart, then centre the new steering box – or get it as close as you can. You’ll still have some adjustments and some fiddling to do at the end, but that’s pretty easy on these old Holdens. Because you’re working with OEM gear, there are no great mysteries to mounting
up the replacement steering box and pump. It’s the finetuning that takes time. There’s a good chance your ‘new’ steering box comes with original rubber coupling. “Unless it’s absolutely soaked in oil and shagged, hang on to it,” says Mick. “The old originals are better than the later aftermarket replacements.” With a bit of luck your pump came TOP Original with its mounting steering box bolts and spacers. is under the rubber boot.
Ours didn’t, so Mick made up a set of spacers from a length of old steam pipe that he gave a quick spray of black paint to tidy up the appearance. What you want to end up with is alignment that gives the belt a nice straight run. There are a few ways you can apply pressure to tension the belt, but the big no-no is applying a lever to the body of the reservoir. It’s more delicate than it looks and dents easily.

steering box set up, we start to fll up the reservoir with auto transmission or power steering fluid, or Dextron 3 – call it what you will. What we want to do is bleed or ‘burp’ the system. You need to disable the engine – unhitch the coil lead – and turn it over on the starter. If you forget and start it, the oil will
aerate, which is no great tragedy, but you’ll probably need to leave it overnight to settle. With the engine disabled (and the front wheels off the ground), you turn it over on the starter while winding the steering from lock to lock a couple of times. Then switch off, refill, and try it again with
the engine running. You might get some noise on full lock, but that’s normal until it’s properly filled. Now is a good time to check for leaks, particularly on the highpressure hose. About now you’ll be wanting to get that steering wheel aligned, as it will almost certainly be off. The
simplest method is very brief roll to establish centre and then move the wheel. Repeat until you get it right. You might consider shouting it a wheel alignment. Mick reckons it pays to keep an eye on the fluid for a while as the system settles in. And the result? A huge difference. A pleasant surprise is that it’s not super-vague – there is some feel there. The steering ratio is much quicker, with something like a whole turn less lock-to-lock, which takes a little getting used to. Once you do, the car is a much easier proposition to drive. Ms M should have no dramas reverseparking it now. Mission accomplished.
ABOVE All the gear is in and working. BELOW And yes, it’s a more civilised drive.

GARAGE GURUS IN THE SHED WITH
I HATE WIRING THE SM WAS A 1970S CITROEN FOLLY, A TECHNICAL TOUR DE FORCE BUT A COMMERCIAL TOUR DE FARCE THE CITROEN SM is back on the road. I have given up waiting for the Prime Minister to visit so that he could put his hands on the bonnet and heal the various woes and afflictions. And I was starting to think it would take a miracle to fix all the hydraulic leaks that bedevilled my magnificent French tourer. The SM was a 1970s Citroen folly, a technical tour de force but a commercial tour de farce. Not often does one discrete product line send a major company broke, but the SM pretty much did 138

that to the established and proud company founded by Andre Citroen so many years before. But when this Grand Routiere is running properly, there is something magical about it. It is no coincidence that the SM is regularly voted as one of the all-time great cars. I was fed up with my futile amateur attempts at fixing the frequent suspension leaks and decided it was time to consult someone who actually knew what they were doing. I topped up the reservoir for the LHM, the green mineral fluid that
energises the hydraulics that make the car work, and drove it slowly and carefully to a garagiste extraordinaire who had experience with these exotic hybrids of French suspension and Italian propulsion. A few days later, I rang for a progress report. Roberto assured me that he was well into the job, but lamented in his thickly Italian accented English “Your car is a liquor factory” which sounded suitably Gallic, exciting and lucrative, offering a sideline that might offset the cost of some of the repairs. But
what he meant was “a leak factory”. My instructions in response were clear and unwavering – he was to keep exploring the inner bowels of the beast until every source of green puddles were found and plugged. The car was going to be returned to good working order and I was determined to get it on the road again. This turned out to require first of all a very thorough steam clean in order to even see clearly what was happening, followed by the simple unbolting and removal of most of the
front valances and covers. Thankfully the headlights did not need to come out, access was good enough without going that extra step. Then followed the dismemberment of the front brakes, suspension, hydraulic pump, clutch master cylinder, the accumulator sphere and various suspension piping unions and joints. All were given a severe talking to, along with some other maintenance issues plus making the horns and the air con work again. My delight at the result was tempered by the magnificence of his invoice, but since I had not spent a zac on the SM for many years, it was actually very reasonable. I hope Roberto does not read Unique Cars. Back behind the wheel, and on the road again, I soon discovered a short list
of annoying gremlins, things that I could attend to in my own time. First on the list was to get the radio aerial going up and down again which meant exploring the simplest explanation first – the probable failure of the switch. It is on the dashboard
enough space for the lateral movement to engage the contacts. The lugs that secure the switch into the holder have popped out of their housing, simple as that. A few minutes fiddling with a long slim screwdriver and they are re-housed, the
“MY DELIGHT WAS TEMPERED BY THE MAGNIFICENCE OF HIS INVOICE” and is an ovoid but simple ‘centre off’affair that sits in a gang of four switches adjoining the gauges. A few screws undone and ‘bingo’ the problem is revealed. It is not electrical at all – but mechanical. The switch has dropped in its housing resulting in there not being
switch re-installed and it all works. Next to attend to are a few screws and cup washers missing from loose trim – tick; and then an examination of the mystery of the instrument lights no longer working. Roberto had asked his sparky to
re-connect the two-tone air horns that adorn the SM, and ever since the dash lights have vanished. Many French cars of the 70s have two tone horns – a little squeaky “beep beep here I am and I hope you will hear me” horn called ‘town’ and a magnificent terrifying “get out of my way you insignificant little 2CV travelling at 70k on the autoroute” type ‘country’ horn. The SM powers them with a small compressor tucked in under the front passenger’s side headlight assembly and the wiring on mine had been disconnected, even though the unit worked. It simply needed a new relay, a feed of oil, some new cables to be connected to the loom and now I can cruise the highway and blast away and terrify 2CVs in two tones to my hearts content. Sacre bleu.

DANGER MAN DEBATE ABOUT HOW FAR SOCIETY SHOULD GO WITH RISK-REDUCTION MEASURES ISN’T CONFINED TO DEALING WITH THE PANDEMIC PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES
RECENT REPORTS of Murray Walker’s death at age 97 caught my eye and brought back happy memories of both his appealing F1 commentary style and an interesting personal conversation with him about 10 years ago. To me the way our paths crossed was quite bizarre. The setting for my chat with “Mr Formula 1” was of all places, in the pits at a motorcycle event – the Isle of Man TT. And I spotted him among the crowd as he was being interviewed for Australian TV by, wait for it, “Mr V8 Supercars”, Mark Skaife. I loved 140
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
the contradictions packed into that moment. Anyway a memorable takeaway from my conversation with “Mr Formula 1” (who I soon learned had history with bike racing) was this surprising comment: “In my opinion the Isle of Man TT meeting is the greatest motorsport event in the world.” Not long after reading Walker’s obituary I watched a short doco from a few years back called The Racers that Stopped the World. It surfaced in a discussion on the Shannons Club site led by Unique Cars contributor
LEFT Circuit safety-check, Manx-style.
Dr John Wright, about the transformative effect of disc brakes on motor racing in the 1950s. Among many motorracing luminaries taking part in the documentary was Murray Walker. The initial focus was on Jaguar’s pioneering role with disc brakes that first won it victory in the 1952 Grand Prix de Reims with an XK120, before similarly equipped C-Types dominated the 1953 Le Mans 24-hour event. Given that Stirling Moss, the British ‘Boy Wonder’ at the time, was chosen by Jaguar to spearhead
TOP Stirling at work in his office. BELOW Spot the F1 driver if you can.
its on-track efforts with cars featuring the innovative braking technology, it’s no surprise that the documentary focused heavily on Moss, a process that incidentally filled in some gaps in my knowledge of the man. One particular comment about Moss from Walker made me prick up my ears, as he took the conversation down an unexpected but
something I’m frightened of – of course I’m frightened of hurting myself. But it gives you a tremendous kick. “When a young man gets into a car and realizes that he could get killed, it makes it more meaningful. “I went into motor racing wanting the danger and enjoying the danger.” It’s no doubt relevant that Moss came to the sport just
“ONE OF THE REASONS I RACED WAS BECAUSE IT WAS DANGEROUS” interesting sidetrack: “Stirling is practically a voice in the wilderness these days (circa 2012) because Stirling feels, as do I, that there ought still to be an element of danger in motor racing because that is part of the attraction. That is what gets the adrenaline going in the drivers, the competitors, and the spectators.” Included file footage produced direct comments on the subject from Moss: “One of the reasons I raced was because it was dangerous, because danger to me is something exciting. It’s
after World War II, a time when people had become accustomed to danger and death being part of everyday life. It was a time when typically four or five motorsport competitors died in race crashes each year in Europe. Martin Brundle observed that even as late as the 1970s racing drivers expected one in seven of their number to be killed during a season. Then came the strong contrary voice, defending the numerous measures that have reduced the risks
in motor sport – it was the voice of Jackie Stewart lamenting the regrettable and unnecessary loss of life in motor racing, explaining that he has 25 separate wooden benches at his property in Buckinghamshire, each dedicated to the memory of a close friend among his competitors who died. Stewart said clearly and unambiguously: “That was wrong. That had to stop.” It’s obvious that safetyfocused improvements to circuit layouts, vehicle design, driver restraints and driver protective-gear have significantly reduced motorsport’s “danger” to an extent that meets the expectations of our increasingly risk-averse societies. Clearly there are those who suspect it has gone too far. Has it, I wonder? And whose opinion on the subject really matters? As I look back to that day at the Isle of Man, at an event considered unacceptably dangerous by some of today’s more safety-conscious motorsport observers, I’m beginning to understand more fully what prompted Murray Walker to offer such high praise for the event, given what I now know about his support for Stirling Moss’s attitude.

H
olden didn’t have much sales success with its four-cylinder, locally designed and developed cars in the 1970s, which now makes them quite rare cars. One of these is the UC Holden Sunbird SL/E, the most lush four-cylinder Holden you could buy in the late 1970s. The UC Sunbird arrived
with its six-cylinder twin the UC Torana in March,1978 and continued with the Opel 1.9-litre four until September when an all-new locally developed engine was dropped in. Yes, that was the Starfire Four, derived from the 2.85-litre Holden six. It wasn’t Holden’s greatest engine. But to give the Sunbird some sizzle lacking in the engine
bay, Holden at this point also introduced a lush top-of-therange Sunbird SL/E, available in sedan and hatch, with a standard four-speed manual or three-speed trimatic auto option. Borrowing a trim theme from the VB Commodore SL/E, the Sunbird had cut-pile carpet, crushed velour seats and 13-inch alloy wheels. Sports instruments,
a three-spoke GTS sports steering wheel, dwell wiper control and bumper overriders were also part of the package. This is Nathan Dobinson’s example, a 12/78 build in Firethorn Red with Trimatic auto. It is his first car, given to him on his 16th birthday. “It turned up in the driveway about 10 years ago. It was Dad’s mate’s car, who TradeUniqueCars.com.au

“THEN DAD ASKED HOW IS IT? BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR NEW CAR” bought to do up and sell,” explains Nathan. But then on his 16th birthday, Nathan was asked to drive it up the road to check the brakes. “Then Dad asked, ‘How is it? Because this is your new car’.” From there, like any car-obsessed bloke with his first toy, Nathan took much pride in getting the Sunbird into shape. “It became an obsession really, I cleaned it up to make it look nice. I got Holden Racing Team seat covers and floor mats, just so I wouldn’t wreck the interior.” Nathan learned to drive in the Sunbird, and it became his daily for about six years.
Then, he faced a string of bad luck. “One morning I had an accident, and got the front end out of shape. I drove it another couple months then, in a summer heatwave, it overheated.” With the resulting engine damage, the Sunbird was parked for four years. Eventually he realised that the Sunbird was getting expensive just sitting there. “It cost more in storage fees than to have it running.” So Nathan pulled the motor out and got it rebuilt, and then started to piece it all together. “Now it’s pretty much just a weekend warrior, it goes to shows and to the TradeUniqueCars.com.au
