I think they were painted overseas in Holden engine colour. Operating from memory here though. I remember being told this a while back by Ben or Warren. They'd be painted once assembled like 253 and 308. Shipped minus dizzy, carb etc and assembled over here then engine number stapmed at the assembly plant. |
