Looks like a Holden

Matt Vavasour
Vern Pattinson that was my first thought, but the door handles, seat and front bumper look Valiant.

Denis Nolan
Jasyn Russell the panel from wheel arch to nose reminds me of Valiant

Denis Nolan valiants didn't have a nose cone but had indicators on the front corners. From what the old man said I think it was around 30 tonne rock that gave it that aerodynamic shape

John Kerr
Nice Holden, the face plant model I think?

Got a big block conversion for free

Paul Carrington
looking at the front bumper its a Valiant.

Cheryl Johnston
I think it had a bag of cash in the glove box to pay the wages

Barry Beaton
Maybe it used be a Valiant or HQ....but it used to be!

They were fantastic contractors from the Wanaka end. The early bridge work and innovation is covered in a lot of archives on The Coasters club. I spent hours going through old photos that George Wallis's showed myself and late brother Des O'Regan in his Haast workshop one very wet Sunday. They had a tremendous track record on the other end. One squashed ute is nothing to what they achieved. Kevin O'Regan
