    Only Aussie car here was Graeme Harveys "Golden Holden", also a Humpty.
    Falcons were not seen as racing then, EH-S2, HD-X2, HR-X2 were raced over there, but not here
    Some standard model Holdens were in B&H
    Carlos Neate won in a Nissan Skyline GT here though
    Really no Aussies till 1968- after Allcomers- Grady Thomson winning the Heatway Rally, then Glenvale 100

    Just some small corrections John,the Old Holdens were known as Humpies not Humpties. The EH model you are thinking of was S4 not S2. You are correct with HD-X2, and the HR was 186S not X2. Sorry to be so pedantic. Hope this helps.
    Dale.
