I am just curious as to how many genuine XU-1s are still out there or in reality how many are left...ones that haven't been wrapped around a tree!!!!

If everyone that had one joined a Torana car club then we would be well on the way to knowing the answer. Just one more reason why enthusiasts should support the clubs.

I think GTRXU1 was more interested in knowing who has one on this site!

I wonder if we could get a poll going on here where we can atleast get some numbers and colours.

Cheers

Well, Holden made around 3300, and I'd reckon there'd only be around 10,000 left these days :tease: :<_<:

We could actually do something like that you know, as torrynut has suggested.

We could get some kind of sticky going or similar where owners list their car along with numbers (need only be partial numbers perhaps for those who want to protect the identity and whereabouts of vehicles). This way we might be able to do our little bit for keeping track of how many of these sorts of cars are left etc.

They have done a similar thing to this at another forum I'm a member of for keeping track of certain rare firearms and it works quite well.

What do others think?

Peace,

thanks for the responses...I would really like to add a list to our website @ www.gtrtoranaxu1carclubinc.com under the Pressroom/Gallery/Colours for cars and their colours.

OK then !!!

Can one of the Mods please create a thread so we can attempt to try to add as many Xu1's as we can ?

I'm not keen on posting particular numbers but am open to colours, build dates etc

cheers

i have heard through the one of the xu1 clubs that approx 800 xu,1,s
are left ..... however no one would really know as there are ones hiding in sheds and farms , some gone overseas , i am also told only 31 bathurst 73 xu1,s left that are accounted for by the clubs .....

this could be grapeline talk so it is speculation only

it would be interesting to find out if those who have microfishes document the verifications and record them ..
