Random # 392: TX Gemini Sedan

 


Forty odd years ago, nearly all my mates' girlfriends drove Geminis or Corollas.  Mrs UMPH had a Gemini, too:  a light blue TE.  A lot of blokes also owned hotted-up versions, usually fitted with a dash-mounted tacho, a dished SAAS steering wheel, a scorpion or eight-ball gear knob, a louvre, a set of fat Hotwires shod with Goodrich T/As, and a loud exhaust.  Sadly, they're so rare these days, the bloke who bought this ripper TX in 1975 - when it was just three months old - says he only knows of one other in the greater Launceston area and there wouldn't be many more than that down south, either.
