Cataract/Garison I dont think another colour combo would be fitting of the number 1.

Flashline kit would be nice

Dave.

Cheers Dave. we are so lucky that the car was kept in pristine condition since new. The Golden Holden didn't quite get the same love and is not near as clean even though it has next to no miles on it.

It is a good test of a very low use and cared for car. Daphne, The 9,000 mile Cameo and the Golden Holden all have the same new smell.

Hi Steve, the No-1 Came from a private museum where it had sat since the early eighties. The car was reportedly purchased from the Holden Family in 1982. The original owner was "Mrs E M Mc Donald" (nee Holden) The daughter of Sir Edward Wheewall Holden - Margaret Holden who Married Edward Mc Donald and moved to the UK.

The Premier story I am still piecing together.I have -

May 1961 - May 1962 .... Harlow W Gage ... MD of GMH

1962-1974 ..... Unknown

1975 to 2010 one Melbourne owner ... purchased from Christies auction Melbourne for $6,000 in 1974

2010 - 2045 The Jackson Family
