  1. G'day Ian. If a car in Australia is left hand drive then it is almost always an import from the past thirty or so years. This was when the laws were relaxed to allow older collector cars in left hand drive to be driven on the road here in a limited way The V8 in the 1965 HD Holden is not standard. This would be a much later high performance engine transplant to the car. When new the top motor available was a 179 cui six cylinder, so under three litres. The Jag special looks like someone making a good attempt at a replica of the thirties Auto Union, now Audi, V16 supercharged race cars that had about 600 plus HP. When used in hill climb events they used dual rear tyre setups so the tyres would be less likely to turn to smoke on heavy acceleration.

Caused a huge shakeup from US GM head office head stylist Bill Mitchell and US staff taking over so he design appearsnce to make the good looking designs we know as the EJ, EH and HD Holden. Then further impacts on Holden designs A little known story kept quiet until recently.
