Personally I had one car with the grey motor an FB Holden and two with the red motor an HK station wagon and an HJ sedan.
The V8s too were an Australian built design until about 1999 when they started using US made engines.
Australian designed engines were exported to the US for the Monaro (from memory)
You may be no wiser but at least you are better informed.
From memory, the name holden came from the owner who joined
with General Motors t make cars under licence in australia with a
company called unsurprisingly, General Motors, Holden!
You may be correct on the type of engine, but aV8 did fgure in their
roduct range!
Manufacturing eventually ceased, and the company continued
business by importing the complete cars due l suppose to the
inability of the local work force to cope with the complexities of
engineering??
Donkeyman! 👍😀😀👍
