the Holden GTR-X TORANA looked very similar to that pic of yours,but its a two door. it was also a prototype around the same era,but never went into production.

Isn't that sitting in the Birdwood Motor Museum in South Oz? Can't remember seeing last time I was there though....

Not sure where it is but I've got a few photos of it in magazines etc.
It could be there.

I hadn't seen that - it's interesting, thanks.

Quite a piece of Australian automotive history.

Spooky

I was looking at this advert only last year

.. tho I think the one you pictured is a griffo

I'm claiming my prize for the Iso Grifo

I was going to say Alfa because of the style.

I think John Lennon, The Beatles, had one and drove it around Liverpool.... May be this bit is just folklore

Honest I didn't search first but did later to check.
Here is link

Shambles & Eye30 - well picked

It looks Italian I thought but I wouldn't have picked it personally and I know cars pretty well so well done.

I hope you enjoy your holiday together

You didn't actually name it in the reply.....

Shall we keep db08's cost down and plump for Eithad stadium.

For those that are wondering what is the Eithad stadium it is Man City's football ground which are arch rivals to Shambles Man United.
No sane Man U supporter would goes there willingly.

A google search would suggest you are right m8 (identical picture comes up with that title)

A smart Pom... Is that a contradictory sentence or what

(only joking

Must. Get. Some. Work. Done.

[i think its spelt that way]
Purvis is the correct spelling.
One of my mate sin the Renault Car Club bought one of them (red) sometime in the mid 80's.
More than any other car which visited my house in those days (including fully developed rally cars and Holden Precision Drive cars, the Purvis attracted every neighbourhood kid for miles around.
Caught up with him late last year at the RCCQ 40th Anniversary dinner and he tells me he still has it.[/i]
