Just read an article in my sons Civil Engineering magazine.   Lang Lang turned 50 on September 7th 2007.  The first model to be tested on this testing facility was the FC.

Hey Keith.
That's an interesting bit of info.
Holden bought the property in 1956 and it was open for testing in 1957.
Though the FC is the first car to be 'tested' at Lang Lang before release, there is no shortage of pics of FE's undergoing testing.


I did a quick search and came across this article about Lang Lang turning 50.
Interesting article and it has a couple of pic I have never seen before.
