Upper Middle Petrol Head:

This is Quentin's ex-Western Australian 308 cubic inch V8-powered 1973 HQ Monaro coupe.  It's an immaculate example of the model, featuring a four-speed manual 'box, factory air-con and all its original features.  The duco is deep and lustrous (and is of an even, consistent hue, irrespective of what the following images suggest!), the chrome sparkles and the interior is like new.      Only the quad-light Premier front end differs from original spec and there's a rear spoiler, too.  That item is, however, a genuine GM option from the era, as evidenced by the slight downward line at the rear of the bottom edge of that part of the spoiler that's attached to each of the car's side panels (Quentin explained that non-genuine versions feature a straight line all the way through). The orange front indicator lens shown above is a feature of 1973 - 74 HQs   (earlier editions - those produced in 1971 and 72 - were equipped with clear lenses)....
