Found this HB in a shed tonight going back Saturday to get it what is it? I think its a type 1 S Brabham.
Stamped in the wheel arch left is I think HB 82411 AOMO8A on a small long plate is 82411BC112547 All I have to do is get it all home and finish windows and chrome.
It�s all there and about 10 more big boxes of more 2nd and 3rd parts there are Brabham badges in a box and s badges but it�s my 1st Torana. Can anyone tell me by the numbers what it is yer ?

Great find
Hope the price is right, Mmmmm sounds like a good name for a "Game Show" for TV
Not many HB's around and they were a very reliable car.
Everyone that has told me that they had owned one have mentioned about having trouble free motoring.

Sounds good. Got photos?
A mate of mine just picked up an HB for a case of pre-mixed Bundy long-necks.
The old HBs seem to be coming out of the woodwork at the moment!!

Nice find xpack
HTC has a number of HB's in the club including Brabham's.
Just the privilege of owning a HB gives you an opportunity to be accepted into the Inner Sanctum......
