I love that Bush - the pilot's wings and the general tannoy design give it a "Battle of Britain" vibe that I'm sure is not accidental.

One positive for the HD model Holden was that it was the third most sold Holden model (195,000) after the HQ (455,000) and VE (255,000) series cars, although the VE has been selling for about six years and the earlier two only for about 18 months, reflecting the diversity of today's market.

No car will sell like the Holdens once did - just too many brands now, along with lower import tariffs.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Here's one I fixed for someone:

To be fair, it's missing it's escutcheon, badge, and grill cloth, but still...

I would have liked to work for Music Masters,
but would have eventually got fired for a bad attitude
after rising through the ranks of the electronics assembly line for my keen interest and work ethic,
I would have expressed my opinions about the cabinet making department diminishing the end product a little too loudly.
