[quote] I get confused because from my understanding the EJ Holden which looks similar from the front actually came out before the EH !!!

G'Day motomk,

I'll have to look at the Mag to see the picture. I was with the Paul, Jagsy & Duncan from this forum that day, those pic's are on the Club web site under Events/ 11/09/2004@IOW.

I'm not an expert on the EJ-EH Holden, but with help from my many books have this information.

EJ was Introduced from July 1962 to Aug 1963. Models included the Sedan & Station Sedan ( Estate to the English). Jan 1963 to Aug 1963 th Panel Van & Coupe Utility ( Ute).

STANDARD; The base model gave you a six cylinder, six passenger car for just a few pounds above many a four cylinder, five passenger car.

SPECIAL; These came with a few extras like Chrome stips, Special badges & a new range of two-tone colours in sparkling Magic-Mirror acrylic lacquer paint - the fade resistant finish that needs no poishing for up to three years.

A Premier model was introduced for the first time in the EJ Holden.

PREMIER; The Premier was a lovely car & still is. It came with irridescent metallic paint, finished in exclusive GMH Magic-Mirror acrylic lacquer. The Prem also had;

Individual contoured front seats ( Bucket)
Leather upholstery
Thick pile carpet
Centrally placed console
Rear seat centre arm rest
Front air heater-demister
Door-pull arm rest with lift-up handles incorporated on all doors( only on front doors with other models)
De-luxe instument panel with sponge padding and white steering wheel
Dual horns
Two-speed windshield wippers with windshield washer
Glove box and luggage compartment lamps
Parking brake warning lamp
Anti-glare rear vision mirror
Chrome plated door scuff plates
Narrow-band whitewall tyres with chrome wheel trims
Chrome stips and engine hood ornament.

The Premier was also avalible with the new Hydra-Matic automatic transmission

The EH was introduced from Aug 1963 to Feb 1965, the Panel Van & Ute continued until July 1965.

The EH was basicly the same car with a few body changes such as,
The grille & engine hood
The squared-off rear quarter panels & tail lights.

The biggest change to the EH model though was the new RED motor,

149cu,in. ( 2.4Ltr ) - 100 b.h.p.
179cu,in. ( 2.8Ltr ) - 115 b.h.p.

The EJ had the old GRAY motor that had been used from the first Holden in 1948.

138cu,in. ( 2.2Ltr ) I think ! - 75 b.h.p.

Hope this helps with out borring you. A good Web Site to look at is EH Holden Car Club of Victoria;

G'Day V-Car,

Don't know if the cars are here in the UK yet mate. But my guess is that when some one buy's a car they will then import it, or two at a time to save cost.

I think some of them will sell ok here, as they are unique to this country. Ute's are just starting to take of here and I think they will be popular.

HAVE A LOOK AT THE SITE NOW !! A FEW MORE CARS.

They have a
Convertable EH, very nice !!
HR Ute
& for the F**d fans
2 GT Falcon Ute's
A white XP (I think)Ute
& a Phase 3 GT Falcon, ( or replica )

DRIVE ON !!

[quote]P.S. And no credit for me for passing on the info to you either, a guy could get sulky, until he gets to mention MARCUS and RUSSELL.

Mark ... who ? HRT ... what ?

:-)[/quote]

OK mate, Sorry !

Yes this annoying person gave sent me the link to the site ok everyone. I wondered how long before he got on here about the F**d victory.

Only joking mate ! I hate to say it but, well done Marcus & the Stone Brothers, they have made a lot of difference to the team. Amazining how fast they can make that old boat ancor 5.8 donk go hay !

The GREAT MARK SKAIFE & HRT have gone through some big changes in the last year, which may have effected their team preperation. HRT are still the Team that everyone wants to emulate and have the unrivaled success they have had over the past with firstly HDT & now HRT. They WILL NOT want Stone Brothers to get the hat trick, so look out next year OK !

So enjoy it while you can !

All the best mate,
Rob.

G'Day Mick,

Yes mate, old Russell has had a consistent car all year, don't think he won a race, but finished in most, that's what gets you the points hay. As for Brighty not a good second half of the season for him. Greg Murphy whom I thought was the best bet for runner up, had a bad weekend & not many points which cost him 2nd spot in the Championship.

Oh well next year hay.

Sorry mate, I'm working Sun ( tomorrow ) so don't think I will get to fleming Park. Don't worry about the Beer I will get it from Walkabout, if not on the Aust Shop Web Site.

Thanks anyway mate,
Regards
Rob.

[EH*ROB]

Ok Mate, Sorry,

In that case mate, can you get me just a 6 pack of the Tooheys Extra Dry £9.95 Also mate, can you get me the 910g Vegemite on special for £6.50 & I'll see you Sun with the money ok mate ?

I'm working that Sun as well but not till 12 midday, see ya in morning. What time you getting there ?

Beauty mate,
Rob.

[EH*ROB]

No Worries mate,

I have asked the Aust Shop if they want to set up a small stand at the Aust Day show, but no reply as yet. Let you know what they say ok.

If not I may drop in myself on way to Ace as well.

Rob.

OK Mate, It would be better if I follow you, talk later or e-mail me, see our Holden UK site for my e-mail.

Rob.
