Well, my program gives 67,586 vehicles produced in Sydney plant over 20 months of approx 30 days each gives
67,586/600 = 112.6 cars per day (on average).
Since these 2 cars are 34,953-34766 = 187
Then the 2 cars would have been made on consecutive days

Ken

PS any details on these 2 cars such as owner, dead or alive, for sale etc.

Just like a little referance as to what their status was.

Thanks & regards  Ken

Ken.
The numbers I supplied belonged to a mate who was selling the car on ebay, after having bought it from a guy who had it in storage. The car was not sold and eventually traded for a LJ Torana. The new owner intends to put it back onto the road, which should not be too hard, as it had minimal rust. The car has been repainted red and white, the story behind the colour change is that it was painted to be used in a movie. I tried to get more details around this, but they remain sketchy.
