red750 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 My first was a Morris Isis (not the Muslim kind), then a Morris Major Elite, [ATTACH]50333._xfImport[/ATTACH] then a Morris Oxford. [ATTACH]50334._xfImport[/ATTACH] After that it was all Fords (5 Falcons and a Festiva). All but one have been pre-owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I bought a Holden, sheet !. Did you know the five stud wheels are attached by four bolts . Weee there goes my left front wheel, over the fence & across the field. Only a little scar in the tarmac. Never found that Dammed wheel with the brake rotor inside it. noticed the shake three days before & no mechanic (3 of them) picked up the problem. spacesalor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 My first car was a Morris Eight series 2 ex post office van. Second a Riley Kestrel. Wish I still had the Riley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 My first new from the dealer car was a 1975 Honda Civic It was a great little car which I drove all over northwest NSW. https://www.motorious.com/articles/features/344541/driven-is-the-honda-civic-genesis-of-modern-reliability The intake and combustion chamber design were revolutionary; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Red, you should've kept that Morris Isis. Absolute tank of a car, powered by a Morris truck engine. About the only Morris that would do close to 100mph. Only 1250 built, it's a collector car today. Best vehicle I ever owned, a new HJ Holden Sandman utility, bought in 1975. 253 cu in V8 (4.2L), 4 speed manual, GTS dash, went like the clappers. Wore it right out, eventually turned into a roo-shooting ute on the farm, and sent it to a country rubbish tip. Worth probably $60,000-$70,000 today, in good condition, the Sandman utes are rarer than hens teeth, only 800 built. The Sandman I owned was identical to this one, below. https://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/buyers-guide/1901/1975-holden-hj-sandman-ute-buyers-guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The Morris ISIS has a truck engine in it alright and it's a fairly good thing compared to a lot of other stuff that was about. . Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
