 my opinion on this sticker is that it was on a spare part and was then transferred to the GB by a previous owner. 

 

Is it a paper sticker?  

 

If it was transferred it would rip or it won't be on cleanly, even with plastic coated paper stickers there'll be a bend or dog ears where the sticker was removed.

Not quite paper, more like the type of medium that has a composition that allows the printing process on one side and the application of adhesive on the other. Up close the surface has a slight brown haze as if a lacquer coating has started to degrade.

 

As the originator of this thread said, he saw it over 20 years ago before I bought the car.

 

If the sticker was a production line indicator of a change vs the normal, Could have been on things like :-

 

Diff..to obvious.

Master....to obvious

Gearbox.........yes different & NOT obvious. (driving gear was a blue 9 tooth for 2.6)

Tail shaft.........maybe.

GTS wheel(s)......yes different to normal GTS & not so obvious at a glance.

 

But I am fairly sure a production worker would not risk the sack or a kick in the pants for such an act.

 

Pattersons or the delivery Dealer........same thing...the act is not worth the job.

 

That is why I would think it was done by a previous owner.

 

But where did it originally come from?  I think it is highly unlikely that someone would create and print out a sticker in such a format just to put in a GB. Nope, I am sure it would have come off a spare part unique to the A9X.

 

When you think that GMH would have outsourced special parts like the body kit. That manufacturer probably put stickers on to identify what was what. Think about it, there were flairs being made by the same manufacturers that did them for other cars. Even the L34 & A9X had different flairs.

 

Now on page 8 already. :ph34r:

If all the above rings true I still think it's a sticker that came with the glove box insert possibly aftermarket/NOS and it was meant to read LH-LX but for some reason they got it wrong.

who actually made the original bolt on plastics/fibreglass for the A9X's??

....there is a company called ATL , they do mould type chemical stuff, currently appear to be somewhat involved in V8 Supercars with manufacture of supercar bumper bars etc.( you can Google them )
Could they have made up sets of A9X bolt-ons, put them in a box/kit with the now famous sticker on the box.?

i.e. from Mr ATL's view, he was supplying something to GMH. from ATL, for the A9X....thus the sticker.

Old mate fits the bits at Pattersons and sticks the sticker in the glovebox just for old times sake?.

Remember the LC/LJ coveted build sheets sometimes found under the hoodlining, carpet/seats was probably never meant to see the light of day either.

Could be way off here...but guessing is half the fun.IMHO

not meaning to sound on the rude or arrogant side of the fence.

 

But why were both images taken with the exact same camera?

 

of the exact same sticker.

Not only do the Baron and I have good taste in cars but in cameras also

I believe Crystal Plastics were the suppliers of the spoilers etc for the Torana,s that required them.    Spelling may or may not be correct of the Company name, long defunct.

They aren't genuine items.

 

They are aftermarket.
