That wasn't a fuel line on the roof, it was a snorkel for river crossings! :)

Great way you have filmed this and Glenn brings a bit of Russell Coit to it :) LOVE IT!.

We're pretty sure Russell Coit was based off Glenn Torrens :)

@captainkaos754 5 жыл бұрын

Russell would be based on jack absolom a TRUE AUSSIE LEGEND who drove around the Pilbara in a Mitsubishi sigma in 50 degree heat. None of that poofta 4wd shit for jack. More people should watch his videos on KZfaq and educate themselves on the outback, he’s 91 and still going strong.

I have a dugout at White Cliffs and you drove past it, in my shed is a XB Coupe ive had for 28 years not running just sitting there collecting dust.

That Volvo saloon/sedan is an early 244, the first generation cars had those single round headlights. In Europe they tended to rust pretty severely so they're rather rare and with the increased interest in the 240s early ones like this are very highly prized. A good, sound shell like that could easily be worth over £2,000. The estate/station wagon is later, probably first-half of the '80s judging by the alloy wheels as the specs of the cars changed for the 1986 model year and those alloys, which were standard fit on the GLE, went away, replaced by steelies with plastic wheel trims as standard...

Not bad Glenn, some nuggets of info there. That VE Valiant ute got an upgrade 6 in it and as far as Rust goes? Restoring these old girls is simply down to how much work and skill you want to put into it. I know of cars bulldozed and buried in old backfilled irrigation ditches in the 80's now dug up and dragged off for resto and a Car magazine that had a GTHO, Monaro and Charger on the cover where the E49, an ex race car of the day was restored from swiss cheese to a faithful OE resto. Nothing is too far gone.

my Dad bought an ex- government Camira, used it as a work car for his handy man job. He didn't do much to it, drove it into the ground, but, he did get 5 years of service out of it, so, can't complain :) And yes, it was that light brown colour too...lol :)

Nice vid. A pity you didn't go out to Glengarry and Grawin to show people the chariots running around out there. Last time I was there (many moons ago) there was cars with no doors or bonnet n boot n stuff running around everywhere. It was like a scene out of Mad Max and that was just how they lived. Not because they were poor either. It was because if you have nice new things out there, someone will come and Rat your opal mine when you're not there.

@captainkaos754 5 жыл бұрын

Sounds like you visited the set of mad max 😉

@victorbitter583 5 жыл бұрын

It was a bit like that. These are opal mining towns on the edge of the desert. Most people live very rough out there and the police rarely go there. The laws out there are lax to say the least . When a car is no longer viable as transport, the diff and rear axle assembly is removed and mounted over a vertical mineshaft and used for winching the opal bearing dirt to the surface.

What you thought was a Commer isn't, it's an Austin Parlanian. Much, much rarer than the Commer van/pickup and preceded it by a few years. Survivors are incredibly rare and this one looked pretty solid despite being upside down and, presumably, largely stripped. I cannot imagine how rare a factory Parlanian pickup must be, I didn't even know they made them so this could be of serious interest to a brave classic commercial fan and restorer...

I put my Camira on gas. Could get around 1400 kms between fills on both tanks. As the petrol tank was under rear seat, could still hold 60 lts of fuel with the 72 lts of LPG. And gas was 8 cents a litre. Put 300,000 k on that car.

That Holden Camira SJ, although a bit of a failure in Oz, is probably more familiar to most people as the mk2 Vauxhall Cavalier or Opel Ascona C. They were incredibly popular in Europe. All the estate bodies were built in Oz and shipped in to be assembled in Great Britain, Belgium and Germany because Holden were the only people with the foresight to put money into developing an estate/station wagon variant. GM in Europe certainly never would have so if it hadn't been for Holden that car wouldn't have existed and a lot of company car drivers would have been forced to have the, although new, still rather archaic Ford Sierra if they needed a mid-size estate...

Mike C I thought the same. Here in the UK, that would be classed as mint rust free! There's a wide selection of properly rusted out cars over here......I know that, because I've owned most of them!
