Holden EK Cathay Grey - Donna Jackson's 225

Post by Aussie Bob »

Donna purchased this beautiful, early and extremely clean Holden EK from Bob and Lorraine, affectionately named "Daphne"

We are very proud an honored to have this exceptional EK in the Jacksons collection.

Once a part of the Suttons Holden Collection. One of the most original EK's in our collection.

Not many photo opportunities have arisen in the past years, so here she is.

The car still has its original Factory finish Cathay Grey / Snowcrest White.

Body ID: EK 1231 S

Chassis: EK-2616-S (1615 Chassis made)

Engine: B176343

Miles 45,635

The car does drive like a new EK and smells like one too!

It took three years before I was aloud to sit in the seat :shock:

Daphne is still in the NSW club, and is tucked in with some of her friends.

Do you think cars have received some improvements since 1961 Leroy?

Really :? Hmm

Might need to buy an EJ

Congratulations, Steve!

I remember 'Daphne' on display at Sutton's some years ago, and can brag that I once moved this car at a club event (like, 5 metres...) It really is just like new
