1972 Holden HQ Belmont review from Australia and New Zealand
"Low cost reliable bus"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electrical system failed.
Brake pad renewal.
Rear universal joint.
General comments?
Good, reliable and solid wagon. Could put many a 4 wheel drive to shame!
A bit slow with original 173 but rectified that problem with a warm 202.
