This lovely HR Holden was spotted for sale by one of our staff while holidaying near Lake Moogerah, QLD
  • The Bay to Birdwood countdown is on...only 400 places now left...and only 46 sleeps until the big day...and only six days until early bird vehicle entries close (Monday 19 Aug). Enter online at baytobirdwood.com.au
  • Ghost signs at the National Motor Museum.

Straight six. 38 HP. Separate cabin between chauffeur and passenger. A speaking tube for commands from the owner to driver was fitted. Owned by Sir John Hannah Gordon, former justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia.
