More pics of Imported S
Haven't got the hang of more than 3 pics per post! Some more. The side mouldings are soft aluminium. If you have them, don't park next to anyone
in a car park! I paid about $200 to Vic Brkovic for a NOS set in 2000 for these ones and was happy to do so. Haven't seen a full set since.

The sea blue seemed popular Lee but I have seen a couple of pearl white ones. The first actual S I ever saw in the flesh was a wreck in a yard here
at Riverstone (Auto Undertakers which was run by John Hood and his two young sons). That was 1968 and it was a 1965 Notch. I got the whole interior
of that car and transplanted it into my 1964 OZ Notch. The other colour which came into OZ was the velet green one owned by Aaron Britcher in
Adelaide. Birch green was also available but never ever saw any.
With you on the clear lens Lee, amber for me any day!
Have no idea on how many were imported. Maybe Phil Matthews has some info on them??

's' on the number plate light stamped on the edge of the trim
