g'day everyone, just saying hello.
just been and bought a '75 Clubman to do up for my sister, currently it is its original colour Country Cream, we were going to paint it blue but now we have decided on another original colour called 'Home On Thorange'

mine is a later '75 model, which came with engines ranging from a 1.6L opel to a 5.0L Holden V8
the first Torana's were Vauxhall Viva's, Dads is a 2nd generation which ran a 186ci six
