Upper Middle Petrol Head:

The pages of UMPH are chockers with classic Holdens, especially over the last week or so.  First, there was an old-school HK from Wynyard, Tasmania, complete with a carbie stack poking out its bonnet ( https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2021/08/random-304-hk-holden-sedan.html ), followed by a nowadays very rare HK van photographed  in Canberra ( https://uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com/2021/09/readers-photos-114-1969-hk-holden-panel.html ) .   Today's offering - an FC station sedan, also photographed in Wynyard on Tasmania's north-west coast - looked amazing with a straight, rust free body and all the fruit!  The purists might balk at the Ford 12-slots but I reckon they really suit the car, especially given their body coloured finish that nicely complements the chrome of the centre caps and trim rings. Are you a fan of classic, sports and performance vehicles?  Do you enjoy car shows and motorsports, especially when there's a bit of Tasmanian scenery thrown in for

  The Canberra correspondent has demonstrated great diligence, having captured this lovely old HK Belmont van from every conceivable angle, other than employing Road-Kill-o-Vision** and overhead spy footage!  But then he does live in a city that has its very own Chinese embassy, and where there’s a Huawei, there’s a way***, so I'm sure the latter can be arranged!     U M P H Images by the Canberra Correspondent (* & ** TM the UMPH Mega Publishing Consortium) (*** I'm possibly joking)

I really, really do love this classic old-school HK, complete with a V8 and pair of Holleys protruding through its bonnet!  It was also running a floor-mount shifter, tough alloys and four wheel-discs, the front ones appearing to be from a VN or thereabouts Commodore.  It was in good all-round nick and sure added to the beauty of surrounding Wynyard, Tasmania, where it was spotted only a few days ago.     Dammit!  Permit's expired.    Coming to uppermiddlepetrolhead.blogspot.com.au soon:  a rare HK panel van (seriously, when did you last see one of them?), and an uber-cool FC Holden station sedan.
