1967 Holden HR review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best car I'll ever own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The best car I've ever owned (it's not an understatment). I just turned 16 the other day and am now allowed to drive it around the streets.
Ummmm.. it runs a 186s set-up with a two barrel stromberg that I put on myself - took me about 6 hours to do. She jumps off the start like a thoroughbred and stops like a rampaging elephant.
Cornering is her only fault (7 revolutions of the steering wheel will have her hard over - at least I'm a better arm wrestler now)!!
Only real fault is a bit of rust in the rear left door and on the lip of the bonnet.
Original iridescent gold paint - only a couple of chips and scratches.
Beautiful original interior, not a mark on her, original books and original tool kit!!!
If anyone can give any hints about lightening her steering without altering too much of her originality, please comment.
A beautiful original HR holden Premier. The best $2500 I ever spent.
