2. Trick question. The answer is the Rodeo Diesel in Dec 1980.
4. Another trick question. The answer is the Jackaroo 2.2 Turbo Diesel in late 1984.

Werent the Rodeo & Jackaroo fully imported from Isuzu, and not assembled locally, ruling them out?

Cheers,

Mick

I didnt rule out imports.

Some questions specified Australian Holdens, while others specifies a Holden (of any type).

That was a typo I meant the VP SSv6 at 3800 cc. I was too late to edit it.

Why only 0.5 for the ABS question as it is worded which series not which model? so I answered VP which was a series. VP Calais was a model within the VP series.

1. It was the VP Calais, it beat the VQ series II Statesman & Caprice by just 1 month. I awarded 0.5 if you said VQ series II.
2. Trick question. The answer is the Rodeo Diesel in Dec 1980. If you said VK Commodore, which was the first petrol fuel injected car I awarded 0.5.BTW, the TE Gemini Diesel was released in April 1981.
3. The first Aussie Holden with modern (Bosch) ABS was the VQ series II Caprice. I awarded 0.5 for VP. It was introduced to the VP as a running change after the VQ II was released. The very first Holden with modern ABS was the Calibra (it beat the VQ II by 1 month), but we werent counting imports..


Dr Terry


Hang on Ill have to argue here then. What Rodeo was made in Australia? were they not all just as fully imported as the Calibra?

Ah you got me on that. I did the quiz then answered the questions then read through the thread and quickly flicked to the end, wrote the last post then continued to read and you answered my argument above before I had even written it so my apologies.

Because the answer to the ABS question is VQ series II, not VP.
