1972 SMP LJ XU-1 (XXXXXXXXXXX)514 PAE Qld car (Guessing a Brisbane Built Car been from Qld)
[/quote]
The first one is mine which is a Brisbane build as per earlier post & i'm fairly sure the second one is owned by "Wayne" (not sure of rego)is also a Brisbane build car, it's a 1/72 car as well.

No worries Dave,It seems most Brisbane ones are 1/1972 accept for the 6/1972 one in NSW
And the Adelaide ones are 3/1972,5/1972,8/1972 So far anyway from what i have come across,be interesting what the one in England is a Brisbane Built or Adelaide Built and what the build date is.

Alrighty then, that's two more confirmed than 82911 and I discussed ages ago.
11..........so only 19 more to account for
Maybe Hatchblack can have Team Pinky forward a month and build for the england car.
i have some Vin Details on some,but owners of these cars might not want me Listing these details,so i leave it to them to List
Can you supply just a state or closest capital city? Until confirmed or the owners turn up here, at least it gives us all a good indication of what is still about.

The Strike Me Pink LJ XU-1 that you are talking about,It was called The Pink Panther that Rally Car and i think it was the Second Adelaide XU-1 Built,It raced in the Southern Rally i think it copped some damage in that rally,but it was abit famous the Pink Panther,im Guessing from it must of Scored some wins in the day.

Hi, very interested to hear the goss about the Strike me pink cars. For 5 years I have owned the LJ 2nd XU1 off the Adelaide line, production date 19/1/72 I think. It has a custom one off paint code which Leo Pruneau has helped me with because, as a design studio car the colour was mixed just to try on one car - mine. The car has been a maroon one since I have had it but I recently confirmed with two previous owners (independently of each other) that when they worked together to sand the car down to bare metal the original colour was Strike Me Pink. Given this is the second LJ ever built and was an internal GMH order and delivery, if the other poster is correct then I have the "Pink Panther" rally car! How could I identify it ? Will there be any identifying holes on it - don't know much about what they did to rally cars in those days. If anyone has any help or info to offer please phone 0406-800-980.1/1972 SMP LJ XU-1 (Brisbane Built)PWH.161 Ex GMH Promo Car

Why do you say you have the 2nd XU1 off the production line when there are 12 XU1s with earlier PSN numbers than L194040. I spose your gunna say cause not all are 19/1 build dates but even counting just the other 19th build cars yours is still not the second

the england car is 1/72
and rapid if your car was a factory SMP it would have 1840-40x
So the SMP LJ XU-1 in England is 1/1972
Is it Adelaide Built or Brisbane Built ??????????
I Heard the one in NZ is 3/1972 but i dont know if its Adelaide Built or Brisbane Built,but you would think GMH Head Office in Port Melbourne might of Been incharge of the Export Program,it be a Adelaide Built as Adelaide Fed Melbourne the 82911 LJ Cars
Is there any Pics of the Famous SMP Pink Panther rally car in action that someone could post it up in here,as i have heard of the car,but never seen it.
The other rally drivers would of seen the Pink Panther in the distance or sneaking up on them with the SMP War Paint for sure lol
