my SLR came from Donlee Motors - Broken Hill NSW

Dont know if they were the original dealer though.

gtr-torana, would you be able to tell from my VIN which dealership sold my car originally? Is that how it works, thru the VIN?

Mike

There you go piquet - another car has found its roots. I was talking to a guy in Ballarat on another matter and P S Carey came up.

Only if it is an LC or LJ. I don't have the records for any other model. I'm sure someone out there would be able to help you out in that area.

The Holden dealer list that we are creating is a list of dealers and their numbers that were current when Torana's were sold from them, not current dealer numbers. Over the years, dealer numbers have been changed and re-issued to other dealers. Please only post the dealer numbers that you know were current during the Torana period. It would also be handy that if you do have a dealer to add to the list, add how you obtained your information. Thanks again to anyone who has contributed to this list and hope we can keep adding to it.

621 = Hillsdon's, Church St Parramatta, NSW
685 = Cameron Motors, Woomera, SA

Source of information is the owner of 2x '72 LJ SLs. Both cars were bought new, so have matched the dealer code from the Holden Vehicle Master Listing to the owners purchase information.

Cheers,
Thomas
