Lots of great work there Pete...very interesting and very hard work I would imagine. Some great photos and love the PCF reg wagon, and did you notice the Avenger Tiger in the back ground of one of the pics?

Sorry if I missed it but is Steves (VGVIP) car in amongst that lot? He showed me round it last year when I visited. Theres just something about them thats really appealing.

Thanks for all your work and for sharing it all with us Pete,

cheers Steve :thumbright:

Hi Steve,

It's not 100% yet to be honest (that is why there are all those "post x" posts of mine - I'll fill in the cars as I go along).

I've the full list on my computer, I just have to create the posts for the forum next. When I'm done, there should be 13 posts containing all the cars I've found.

In answer to your question, this is the only VG VIP I have found on the internet:

I'm up to "VH Other" which is VH Sedans, Estates etc. Then it is CJ, VJ Chargers, VJ Other and finally one post for VK, CL, CM (of which I have none in the UK at the moment).

I'm afraid though that Sunday beer is calling me, so I'll have to complete the posts another time.

Pete, excellent work, I will have to try to update some of it for you but I am spending as much time as possible in the garage at the moment.
My pink Charger is actually a VJ with a VH front. :oops:
I can probably update a few of the others when I get a chance.

No rush - I'll need to finish, as I've a few VJ cars (mostly chargers) as well as a couple of CJ sedans to put up.

Another hour or two, but until then I might have it already (unless I've put the model up, like say VE etc - then what's here is all I have found).

Looking forward to adding to the list at the moment though.

Nearly fell over when I added it up - 78 in all (79 if you count that S Series in Ireland). Didn't think there would be traces on-line of that many.

Ah! I wasn't sure, as there is no plate visable. I just assumed it was dead. I will update that in a bit.

I used to have a '72 VH Charger 770 - CHP590K.
Any sign of it still existing?
I've a couple of pics of it if you'd like?

Interesting thread this.
Didn't realise the Aussie cars were so rare.

A great idea Pete. Looking forward to your final findings.

Paul. Post up them pics !

I would, if you have them.

Hate to say it, but the car appears to be a long time dead (last time it was taxed seems to be 1993). Best you could hope for is it is in a shed someplace - how did it leave you?

Sorry to be dense, but what's an Avenger Tiger? I've had a look at the wagon picture, and all I see is an American car to the right?
