Hopefully Bill may be able to shed some light on some of these stories, & confirm whether his car was purple & was always purple.

 

Pete.

I wonder if anyone on this forum bought Bill's car?

[Kockum]

Yes  it would be interesting to hear from Bill .

Ron Hodgson Racing Team had a Red 308 V8 LJ 82911 Car that was wearing the Racing Logo's that went to Canberra due to could not get Rego in NSW, as Canberra let the LJ's get V8 Rego.

 

Tony Sari told me that Ron Hodgson Dealership sent a few V8 LJ's to Canberra to his Auction House Manuka Motors Auction House, Tony owned Manuka Motors in Canberra Ave Manuka, it was a Auction House and the Car Dealerships in Canberra used to buy cars from his Auction House.

Any one heard back from Bill Graham by Email

 

Me and Pete V8 XU1 have not heard from him by Email yet.

 

 

[StephenSLR]

Takes along time to get your computer fixed up that way apparently. Fishy to me.....

 

I've suspected a fake post/profile from his first post. Has anyone any proof the car exists, has anyone bought his car or even had any contact with him?

Pretty random to make up fake profile and say you live in Malanda.

Dunno, perhaps the mods should do an IP address check and see if matches any other/past members? Maybe someone wanting to take the piss out of Adam or someone that was booted off recently? lol.

Hi members

I have had many requests for photos of my XU1 308 Torana ( now sold)

I am still having computer grief but I will post some photos soon.

thanks for the interest

 

Bill Graham

 

Yet you got online on the 8 April 2017 lol

[lx308]

Maybe by phone or tablet or someone's else's computer?
But who knows, lots of suss shit happens on forums.

Bill Graham is real, the car is real and it has been sold and will be going to NSW.

A friend of mine knows the new owner and he is pretty pissed off (to put it mildly) with all the bullshit that has erupted in this thread today.

Subsequently he has requested Bill not to post up any pics or talk to anyone about the car.

 

FYI Allan and Pete, Bills' XU1 was purple from factory when Bill bought it and he had it painted Red. And that is all I'm at liberty to say.

The matter is now finished until the new owner decides if he wants to share his purchase or not.

Looks like you started the ball rolling.

 

So who bought it johnno or col? bullshit erupts for a reason if its legit there is nothing to hide

Barking up the wrong tree.

The new owner is entitled to his privacy, just like everybody else. So I was warned recently.

The way it played out and was sold raised eyebrows .

 

Totally, he comes here and advertises a V8 XU-1 for $40k, it sells a few days later to a non-forum member, nobody here can get in touch with him, had any reply to their emails and no pics.

 

Suss?

 

You betcha.
