The supercarscare was in 1972, everyone knows that but you, C.A.M.S changed the rules cause of it, and 1973 race season went to Group C cause of it

DUDE im not mike73 and Back to the Books for you

Yeah maybe you're not, but I still think the two of you should get together, pool your knowledge (I use that word loosely) and then you can collectively re-write history. It would be a great read and then I can use the book to light the BBQ.

i was told willow is Blue colour, anybody on the forum know for sure about the willow colour ?????????????????

Looking at the Torana paint charts it appears that 'Willow' is a Greenish Grey colour.

Thanks DUDE a conformation for just once

A XU1 Bathurst speciel Painted WILLOW a 1 of WOW WOW WOW

Yeah well that would be about the only thing you are right about in all your posts so far.
These guys know what they are talking about so LISTEN TO THEM and forget the crap that some misguided/uninformed journalist has written in years gone by or the myths that a mate has told you are the gospel truth.

i never said i dident believe you about willow paint colour, i was told it was a blue colour, and i asked did anyone know on the forum, as going off your track record on other stuff you have posted here, can you blame me

[xu2308]

Richox1
do you own the one and only painted willow coloured LJ XU-1, as you seem to know about it etc, get it on the XU-1 Registar, start the willow LJ XU-1 Registar for it, if you own it or you know lots about it.

Richard, re your paint colour .......... on your paint and trim tag does it list the as 568- with a 5 digit code or does it have sommething like 1155-1A-222 as an example.

Reason being if it has a normal paint code , 5 digit then it is likely there was another or more painted in this colour , if it is like the above mentioned code then it would be the first of the model range painted in that colour.

I am not that familiar with the colour but it certainly is not mainstream so i wonder if it is/ was a fleet colour ? do you know who the first owner was or previous owners names as they may be able to offer some answers.

RichoX1 - I would suggest you spend a bit of time looking around the forum here before telling certain members they are wrong. Your "research" is flawed and you appear to have confused a number of cars, years and events.

Sagman owns Saggy Sarah - the provenance is known beyond a shadow of a doubt. This has been confirmed with over 40 people involved in building and racing the vehicle throughout it's career. The story on the Street Machine website is over a year old............
He also owns Barney's Shirt, the one off colour styling XU-1 which was used to mock up the proposed body modifications for the V8 program........and possibly more.......

There are a small cohort of members including xu2308, sagman, Sloper, rorym, myself and a few others who know more about the XU-1V8 program than anyone else.....information obtained first hand from those involved and original documentation that is not publically available.......in the future when the complete story is available everyone will know........

Coming on these forums and pushing "facts" and "reasoning" that is incorrect, and ignoring those who have tried to help explain things does you no justice.

Many previous publications such as Fiv Antoniou's book do contain numerous errors based on the information available at he time and rumour and innuendo.
Get a copy of Norm Darwin's Torana Tough - there is a link on the index page - this is the current definitive source of information regarding everything torana, including info on the V8 program, 24C and Saggy Sarah.

Feel free to browse the forums and be part of the community, however further posts attacking members or pushing information that is known to be blatantly incorrect will be removed and may result in warnings and bans coming into effect. Please ensure you are familiar with the forum rules.

I'm finding richos threads very hard to read. Any chance of a spell check and some punctuation?

[Kockum]

Very very interesting

There was a complete set of tags from a Brisbane built XU 1 , willow in colour allegedly from the 150 list on E-BAY that sold for $15,200 on the 26th of April 2012 .

Perhaps there was more than one ?

Hi all

Come on - it's obvious that someone wants to create a bit of mischief. Nobody could write and spell that poorly unless it was on purpose.

My 2 cents.
