- History:
The dealer, Gilbert Motors, that sold the car was one that I bought several cars from, until they recently lost the Holden franchise and are now a Toyota dealer only. Sad really as they had been selling Holdens for a long time, but they were apparently asked to spend a lot of money to upgrade or get out.
The colour is Ascot Grey and I actually bought it from a guy in Ascot Park. I saw the car advertised and put off calling for 2 weeks as I was giving the other buyers a go. When I rang he said he had been waiting for me to call and if I offered $6500 for it he would take it. He was asking $8500 from memory. He had 24 cars and was moving to a retirement home and was only allowed 2 cars.
It is a great old car and I love to drive it. I find the two tone gery FC's a bit bland (each to their own) and it seems, rather comon but the FE in the single colour grey I like and I have had several people comment that the Grey FE is there favourite of my collection.
We have taken it to Mt Gambier on 2 club runs and have had to replace the head as it developed a large crack on one of these trips.
