That would be Stuart & Sue Percival - members of the Vic club and now members of the newly formed Classic Holden Car Club of the Northern Territory Inc.

These two Vic members are amazing they have driven that car just about around the whole of Australia with a period caravan sporting the same colors. The car has a 186 in it etc but other than the wheels is pretty stock looking. Stuart was a very active member with us until one day he quit his job took the missus and the Holden and headed north! We have not heard from him for a while but it is great to know that he is well and enjoying the warmth and the FC! The car and himself have turned heads since the day he left, good luck to him.

Hey Ken,

Do you know what colour the inserts are on this one?

I'm still equivocating on Hilda's colour. She was Volcanic grey which looks a lot like the colour of this pic in the areas I can see orig. paint. The colour swabs in the tech section seem way darker.

I was going to go Blue but I'm warming to the undercoat colour.

She's being primed as we speak so I don't have too long.

G'day guys...
Phil O'Grady from the SSEHCC saw their FC and caravan in Port Macquarie about a year ago and sent me these pics... Unfortunately the Percival's weren't around at the time....

They sure are clocking up some miles in the trusty old holden and Van.

Lets see if any one else can spot them on thier trip around Australia.

I hope they are having a great time.

The paint colour is supposed to be Granite grey but the respray was a little light - consequently not true to original colour.
