Friends, You may have noticed there isn't a great amount of news this week. But as always, things are happening and we have a few items to report. One thing is for sure, though. We won't make speculation a news item! So two rumours from this week don't even rate a mention in our pages. Warm regards, |

1973 Holden Torana GTR XU-1 |
Strike Me Pink ..... just one of the colours available in 1973! What made the LJ series GTR XU-1 different from the regular GTR? The XU-1 had 142 kW (190 hp) of power from it's 3.3 litre in-line 6 cylinder motor. There were 3 1¾"/4.4 cm sidebraught Stromberg carburettors with variable venturis, ram inlet manifold and individual low-restriction air cleaners. There's a heat shield to separate the exhaust manifolds and carburettors. There's a dual exhaust manifold with 2" (5.1 cm) pipes blending into a resonator. A straight through type, low loss muffler with single inlet and dual outlet tail pipes was standard. XU-1 had a larger capacity radiator, a limited slip differential, a front air dam, a rear spoiler and a 77.3 litre fuel tank. Radial ply tyres were optional! A black interior was standard.

There is still no word from Nissan about the Murano's possible inclusion in it's Australian line-up. |
Mitsubishi Lancer Exceed How good is your memory? Quick quiz ..... when did Mitsubishi's Lancer first appear in Australia? If you said September 1974 you are correct! It was sold as a Chrysler in those early days, though. Since that time, the Lancer has made way for the Colt and has since returned in various guises. Lancer has a long and proud history of 30 years! .... more Stephen Walker |
