157,893 Holdens Missing

[88GreenVN]

Well some of you may know I've been plugging away at the Holden production numbers and special milestone cars for over 18 months.

I can confirm the 250,000 - 500,000 - 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 - 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 th cars. all the production numbers add up to the month.

BUT when I do the VN 5,000,000th production calculation, I'm 157,893 cars short.:whistling All the models are VH, TF, JB, TG, JD, VK, RB, VL, JE, VN & VQ - The VG (5,690) was released in Sep 90 so I left it out.

I've gone over the numbers many times but....:ranting:

The 5 millionth Holden was built on the 29th August 1990. So you cant include all the VN's (141,574) and the VQ (9,396) ran from Mar 90 to Mar 94 so only a small number are included (1,176).

I've hit the wall:cry:

maybe these were the lexcens that went to toyota?

The lexen's were produced by Holden and have the serial numbers mixed in with the VN's.

The cars produced by Holden are the only ones that count so the little buzz boxes call Barina's dont count.

what about toranas and camiras?

Could it be export models? Like the VN with the 4 cylinder?

 

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Just a thought. Could Holden have jumped numbers in their productions? I know some manufacturers miss some in a series change.

What about the Piazza? I know it's not completely local but if it came knocked down and was put together here then it could also be somethin'

what about toranas and camiras?

Torana's finished with the UC and was included in the 3 - 4 mil production run.

The Camira JB, JD & JE were include in my count. (151,807 units)
The Gemini's TF, TG & RB were included too (69,264 units)

The only thing left for me to look into.:thumbsup:

Like the VZ wagons being produced at the same time as the VE

The VZ's started 312,000 ish and stopped around the 570,000's and started again at 810,000.

The VE's start at around 850,000 and have passed 900,000.

BUT I'm adding all the local production from Holdens publihsed pruduction numbers. Hoping to link serial numbers to production date eg the 5 mil VN built on the 28th Aug 90 s/n 4##,###.:thumbsup:
