Geoff Leeds..car dealer in Haberfield Sydney and XU1 racer at Bathurst in 1972 had a SMP in his yard in 1978 he has resprayed it in black as it would not sell in SMP....thats all I can add...saw the car...and lifted a door trim to confirm colour.

Adam it has been said that the strike me pink Prototype LJ V8 ended up in Tassie. Just how true this is im unsure. Maybe Allan (xu2308) maybe able to shed some further light on this.....................


Still a work in progress Allan (The List) I lost a lot of information when my computer died. No one told me i had to have a back up plan....................

What do you know of the SMP Prototype that supposedly ended up in Tassie ????

Please share............

Pics would be nice !!!

No pressure though.........

What died? I run a data recovery company in NZ, so if its was your Hard Drive, I might be able to get some of the data back for you. PM me if you want.

Harry has informed me of late, that it was in fact the V8 xu-1 series II, "BUT" i have heard him mention it by the name xu-2 from time to time, but if you ask him now he will tell you it was the xu-1 series II never the xu-2 ????????????
cheers Scott (team xu-1)
