Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / October 2006HR Holden Wagon
Hi, I am in South Africa on holiday from Perth where I am a mechanic and while here have found a perfect condition HR special wagon, one owner (84 year old had since new), 41000miles, never been in accident, no rust as 600kms from nearest sea, even the back tailgate is perfect, interia like new, manual gearbox. What is it worth? Shipping costs back to Oz? I looked at customs and there is no duty or gst as is Australian manufactured and is over 30 years old. I am thinking of shipping it back myself of if any one is intersted e-mail me. Will get pics if wanted.

Even though I like HR's, and think they were a great model, wagons in mint condition are not exactly prized collectables and unless this guy was getting it for free and planned on keeping the thing it would hardly be worth the effort. If he wants to make a buck while in South Africa, then he should look around for an XY "Fairmont GT", which were basically an Australian XY GT that was exported to SA. They can be had reasonably cheap over there, and fetch good money here. -- Regards, Noddy. > Hi, I am in South Africa on holiday from Perth where I am a mechanic > and while here have found a perfect condition HR special wagon, one [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > back myself of if any one is intersted e-mail me.

The rest is better off forgotten... although the back was a good spot to sleep listening to the diff. The diff had a soothing sound as anyone who has slept in the back of a moving HR wagon at highway speeds will tell you. Al  SignatureI don't take sides. It's more fun to insult everyone. http://kwakakid.cjb.net/insult.html > > Hi, I am in South Africa on holiday from Perth where I am a mechanic > > and while here have found a perfect condition HR special wagon, one [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > sound as anyone who has slept in the back of a moving HR wagon at highway > speeds will tell you. Yeah, my old man's HR and before that FC both had the same diff whirring noise or hum at around 50 mph. That particular diff set-up guy must have reached at least 15 yrs with GMH. Wonder what he got? A gold pen or a chromed blueing kit? Jason |
