Comments from the seller
1956 FE Holden Special in very tidy all original condition.
The vehicle belonged to my Grandfather in Victoria Melbourne. He purchased the car new and was a mechanical Engineer by trade and had the car its entire life. I still have the original news paper clipping he brought it from.
I also have its entire paper service record.
After he passed away I took the car up to QLD and took it to a specialized Holden restorer who mechanically restored everting mechanically to enable it to be roadworthy and registered for use on Australian roads. I have all the paperwork for this work. The entire car is original.
Car is currently located in New Zealand as I move back here a few years ago. I can help with shipping/export back to Australia, the process was very easy and a great car moving company to deal with. Approx cost was $2500 NZD.
I am selling as have run out of room to store it.
Any inspection or questions are welcome. I also have a detailed valuation/inspection report done by an independent car assessor. I can email a copy to anyone who wants it.
A few more details of the car below:
An iconic model of the now defunct brand they are getting harder to find unmolested like this example.
The car was assembled in the Melbourne factory. Still adorning the factory 6-cylinder engine and 3 speed transmission, the blue and white two-tone paint looks to be the factory Royal Marine Blue, the roof is finished Castle Grey.
The factory Persian Turquoise and Parchment Ivory interior is in great condition for original material. Keeping in with the originality of the car it sits on the factory steel wheels.
