I met Bert a couple opf times and had a gander at his Chargers, he wanted over £7k for the Red one I believe. It was a 4 speed too! Im 80% sure it went back to Oz yes, but for a while he had both the Red and the White one advertised so it could have been either. Do you still have his contact details?

Yep this is a VK, lives Epping way.

Eleanor owns a dark blue one in Luton, MGJ21L. This is not the blue one with the CH front. That is LMH7K.

Another dark blue one witha 340 (not an E55) is around, usedf to belong to Ian Spencer who sold it to a trader recently. BKU100L I think but may be wrong.

I will check the register properly soon.

Makes me glad I drive a Wagon not 1 of them common Chargers

[VGVIP]

I like the way you are thinking Steve.
So many of 'em around some people even got 2!


Any ideas on how many Chargers were officially imported? All Aussie Val official import numbers would be interesting.... Always wondered how many VG's etc were here.
Wonder if the figures were ever known in the days of the old "Aussie Charger" club.

[VHValiant]

May 1989 Custom car article states "Less than 350 Australian Chryslers are known to have been imported into the UK" I think the figure is probably higher than that & the figure that sticks in my mind for Chargers VH,VJ,VK, is 203 plus a handful of personal imports

http://www.rootes-chrysler.co.uk/aussie-chry.html link for rootes data base which bears out the 350 imported figure.

If not to large will post a scan of article.
