The last quiz proved so popluar (5 page thread in a little over one day) that I bowed to popular demand & rushed out No. 2. I tried to make the questions less contentious, but be careful there are a few tricky' ones. The aim is to better DA Barnes' score of 6.5.
1. Which series Australian Holden was first to feature Variatronic (variable effort) power steering ?
2. What was the first Holden (of any type) to feature a fuel injected engine.
3. What series Australian Holden had the first modern ABS system ? (The Delco Moraine anti-lock drum system in the mid 70s does not count.)
4. What was the first Holden (of ay type) to be factory fitted with a turbo-charged engine ?
5. What series Australian Holden was the first to feature factory-fitted cruise control ?
6. What series Holden was the first to feature metallic paint ?
7. What company manufactured the manual transaxle (gearbox) used in the Camira ?
8. When did the TH700 automatic change its name to the 4L60 & why ?
9. What was the smallest engine fitted to a Holden SS or Commodore SS (not counting the Torana LX SS) ?
10. What was the first Holden (of any type) that came standard with a 5-speed manual gearbox ?
Rules.
1. Australian Holden means just that, any Holden built in Australia at a GM-H factory.
2. As before, any Holden means any car normally accepted as a Holden & wearing a Lion badge (BTW the HQ-WB Statesman does have Lion badges). No Chevs, Vauxhalls, Bedfords or Pontiacs etc.
3. Byron, Warren & BS cannot enter.
Happy answering.
Dr Terry.

Monaro Muscle got 2 correct.
Everyone is falling for the 2 trick questions. Ill give you a clue, think about the words fuel injection & turbo-charging

Youre making me blush. I can only answer a couple here as I havent read your book about all the later models and re-badged cars yet. Can we allot a percentage system to the amswers as I may get 100% here? 6. 48-215 in 1948 - Seine Blue metallic 9. 3800 V6 at a time when Holden cashed in on the SS monika Im off to read more of the book from the good doctor now.

The 4L60 is a product of GM Powertrain as is the LS1 engine. Neither is a Chevrolet item. Those people who say there new Commodore has a Chevy V8 are fooling themselves. A small block Chev it is not. Dont know when the 4L60 came into being though.
Ill keep reading.

JBM got questions 2, 4, 6 & 10 half correct, so he gets 2.
What D.A. said is 110 % correct, but when was the change ?
