Whilst I'm (still) waiting on the Admins to sort out member and post moderation, thought I'd ask this here to get people thinking and generate some posts.
Thinking repeat PSN's. Barring errors there should be no repeat PSN's right? Wrong.
Thinking about the PSN system that GMH started in September 1967 when they first started building HK bodies. Which VAP's gave the same PSN to multiple vehicles? And how many times?
PSN's started at:
H100000 for Acacia Ridge.
H500000 for Pagewood.
J100000 for Dandenong and Dandenong West.
L100000 for Elizabeth and Woodville.
L600000 for Mosman Park.
Production ceased:
Acacia Ridge late 1984 with the end of RWD Gemini.
Pagewood August 1980 after HZ and during VC.
Dandenong 1988 at the end of VL. I don't think the Holden Nova built there 1989-1994 used a Dandenong PSN in their ISOVIN.
Elizabeth operating until closure in 2017. But Holden still put ISOVIN numbers on all cars they sold until they stopped, and they all used a Woodville/Elizabeth PSN.
Mosman park until September 1972.

I can't answer your question ATM, but weren't Camiras still being built until mid-1989 at Dandenong. The last of Camira production even had the VIN plate mounted under the lower left-hand edge of the windscreen, VN style.
I think you maybe correct about the Novas. I believe Novas & Corolla built at Dandenong used a set of PSNs controlled by UAAI (United Australian Automobile Industries) which was company formed when Holden & Toyota entered their model sharing agreement.

Dr Terry To be honest Terry I have no idea, if it has 4cyl I've never really been interested. Were Camira even assembled at Dandenong? All of the info I have is Dandenong closed in 1988 straight after the last VL were built there. It was listed for sale in mid 1988 and then TMCA took control in November 1988 and it was re-purposed from 1989 for Nova and Corolla, with the first cars assembled there in February 1989. |
