More vehicular shipping through my work. One for the Holden boys.

Last time we had some tidy imports come to our fine country through my work I started a thread up here and upset a few people, methinks, with some pictures. So today, no pics. Also, it's not an import, but an export. Headed to Ireland.

I was sent out into the scorching heat to write up a condition report on it, and I must say is was very tidy. Three chips in the paint and a couple of surface cracks in the rear spoiler (makes me think it's a fibreglass one), but other than that, spotless. That burgandy colour paint, original gold honeycomb-style wheels. 308 under the bonnet. Mint interior. A very tidy machine.

October 1976 HX/LE Monaro coupe.

A Holden, yes. So why do I post about it here? Because, as I stated earlier, it's going to Ireland. One less of them on the road.

To all the Holden boys here, heres to you...

**Raises glass**

NB: No offense intended by that last bit, purely used as a fillum qoute. The baldman isn't looking to start another Ford/Holden-flame thread.

It wasn't. It just came into work on friday arvo at about 3:00pm and we stuck it in a container to Ireland.

One less Holden in the country. Just doing my part for the blue oval team!

That'd depend entirely on how badly we crushed them first. I'm hoping it'd be a lot. You wouldn't quite fit three commodores in a 40 footer, I don't think. But one bloke who's been sending escorts over to the UK through us has been consistently fitting 5 in each container using framing to hold one above the bonnet of one and the boot of the next.

If we parked a container ontop of the cars first, we should be able to squeeze enough in to make it a worthwhile experience.

manage to get any pics woz? im quite fond of the LE's

Woz · 27-02-2006, 11:35 PM

Nah, didn't bother. Last time I did that it caused a giant uproar.

It's still at the depot, not sure when it's leaving. I'm not working tomorrow as I booked in a day off for "alternate arrangements" but if it's still there on wednesday a mate of mine wants to see some pictures of it so I told him tonight that I might get him some. If I do, I'll pm some across.
