Probs doesn't fit in with title of "any more" as I'm not sure these were overly common even back in their day. Pulled in behind a Hillman Hunter last night on my way home from the shops. Original black and white victorian plates. Older driver who wasn't holding back driving the car. Got a pic but not good enough to post. Was difficult whilst driving.

Interestingly, I put the rego into the Vic roads rego check and it returned with "Unable to provide portal response." Not sure what that means.

Saw a EF XR6 wagon in white the other day few around in SA this one was rough though, pic came out blurry so omitted. Also EL XR8 in regency red near work parked, man i'd be so tempted to get back into a EL if a pristine manual kitted XR8 popped up.

Wow, excellent pick-up, I would have sworn I was looking at a 180B SSS.
When taking that pic I did do a doubletake at the grille but the thing is so dirty and rusty anything could look a little 'wrong'.
Also, dont think I've ever seen another one then.
Either that or have passed them all off as SSS's since the mid 1970's

Could possibly be an XF with XG bitsa, to my eye those rear quarter windows look like they open.

Love the big boof passenger.

Kinda Yaris GR stuff in my eye without the logic in doing it, it looks like a cut and shut of two different cars at the rear of the door line, looks so *** heavy it could snap over a speed bump.

Holden Barina Cabrio 1998. Parked in a driveway. Unreg for several years. It reminds me of those Beetles that used to get hacked into cheap-looking wannabe convertibles. Wiki suggests that these Barinas were turned into Cabrios by HSV at Clayton. Does that sound correct?
