Hi folks,

Here are details of my families Xu1's. The first being my brothers (73), and the other my uncles. Unfortunately both were sold some years ago. I am pretty sure my brothers (73) was stolen shortly after he sold it? It was a rare beige colour.

If anybody knows anything more about these vehicles or there whereabouts, I would be interested to know.

I have various photos of the cars which I will post if requested.

Hi Grant

The VIN indicates an LC GTR completed 16/8/71 and sold by dealer 032 during 11/71. The original colour was Covert Beige Metallic with black vinyl trim. The tags are consistent datewise with each other. The original engine was CF18063 which is unfortunately now missing.

Thanks Bazza,
Yes, That,s where I bought it from, you certainly know lots.
I am trying to get some more details on this car, I did look on the Vin list but can not locate it.
If possible I would like to which dealer it was originally sold by., and any other interesting details. I did not get the original books with the car, but do know who the two previous owners were.
Can you help with the 186s engine .

Grumpy.

Hi Grumpy

The car was completed on 16/8/71 in Brisbane and was sold by dealer 032 - McLeod, Kelso and Lee of Newcastle NSW during 11/71. PM your email addy and I will send you a screenshot of the VIN entry.

186S prefix engines were fitted to HR HD HK HT and HG Holdens and featured headers and twin barrel Stromberg WW carby. Someone else might like to elaborate.

Vin150 Cars.

No mate, he bought the vehicle from a person in his late 60's Gymea. The log books even had the sellers details from the car yard. Checks at the time (DMT) did reveal that the vehicle was sent to a police force and never used??? By memory it was NSW Police.

Hi Shaune

Welcome to the forum

That VIN relates to a GTR completed in Brisbane on 12/8/71 and sold by dealer 495 during 10/71. The colour is Duchess Gold Metallic with black vinyl trim. The original engine number was CF18184 (173S)

I think the trim number should be 1829 40v

PM me with the Chassis Number and I will be able to say whether all 3 numbers fit together timewise. Also send my your email addy and I will send you a screenshot of the VIN disc entry.

Cheers

Bazza
