That's not cornering, that's just throwing it in the general direction you want to go and hanging on for dear life!

Peel the number off and go pick up the kids from school, great!

Actually it was not uncommon back in the day for race cars to be registered, I've heard stories of engines being run-in on the drive to Bathurst.

Now that's a proper Holden !! An HD Premier no less.

Good stuff.

You've just gotta love the old days of Aussie motor sport. Real cars & real corners.

In my minds eye, I reckon its Merridin Green metallic with a Fowlers Ivory lid.

Not only a Prem, but looks like that might be an X2 badge on the grille as well.

It's definitely an X2 Prem ... no idea of colour names... but my guess is iridescent spearmint/ olive green with white roof... :spoton:

Like this one... ???
