**********************************
G'day Kaz,

I'm Nick and I'm a photographer for Xtreme Holden & Extreme Magazine. I have been asked to get in contact with a people that own toranas and I was hoping you could pass on a contact number for the following toranas:

"The Mongrel" & "MR LX"

Any help would be kindly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,


Nick Bracken

I saw MR LX on the road the other day.
Its a white hatch here in Adelaide.
Looks very similar to Polar 8.
No idea how to contact the owner though, sorry.
Maybe Dangerous might know?

Mr Lx is owned by a guy named Peter, was last years president of the QLD Torana Car Club, so if you want, get the guy to call the club, and they can put him in touch with Peter.

Looks like Mr LX (the SA one) is all sorted out.

Mr LX is in the Torana Street Machine Club of SA, and Mongrel was in the Holden Torana Club of SA - Adelaide being such a Petrol Head capital, we need two Torana Clubs - three if you include the A9X Club :spoton:

Mongrel was built quite some time ago by a fellow HTC (Holden Torana Club) member - a real labour of love. He sold it not too long after finishing it - we're talking 10 years ago though.

Bracken, what do you need to know about it/them?

Dangerous,

I need to know more general info about Mongrel and if possible gain some more pictures and if anybody knows the owner.. See if he wishes to do a feature shoot.

I did the photoshoot with Brian today. He will be in issue #2.

Cheers for your help guys.

I don't know where 'Mongrel' is now, but I can try to contact the previous owner for you. I'm sure he'll have a few photos of it, and I might have a few in the old photo albums too - the one posted is one of my photos, I think.
