Yep, they look fine S4pete ... any of them yours ?
I don't buy a lot of mag's these days but I think "Just Holdens" might have me hooked.
Of course it's nothing to do with Joe's immaculate HR Premier wagon, Dave's resurrected HR Special or the HR's |

Hey guys - my dad had an HR 186S 4 speed back in the day. Any idea what they are worth now? He wishes he'd kept it...along with the HT 307 Monaro ;-)

Hey "Sandman",
I think one ( a 186S 4 speed Prem. sedan ) just sold on Ebay for $10,000ish.
You're dad had a couple of classic rides there...
Wouldn't we all like to go back to that era and get the rellos to store away some great car |

Hi Guys.
Wasn't it great to see 6 S4s line up at Bathurst. As you probably realise, s4pete, I was there (big bloke, white hat, no hair).
To squash a few myths about S4s, they did NOT have a 4-speed box (Gary), they used an upgaded version of the old |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

I think from memory the HR was the first Holden 6 to come out with a 4 speed, the infamous Opel.

Hi s4pete.
Yep, that was me.
The nasco fan belt thing. That weekend I had many owners proudly showing off rear bits & pieces, on their car or in their boot. I saw 3 different Nasco fan belts.

Hey s4 Pete, do any of you s4 guys know if someone out there makes a replica of the larger petrol tank in the s4? I've almost completed a winton red sedan & the larger tank would be very cool!
