I didn't think the sunroof needed anymore, and if it's too hot just close the shade.

Yeah, to me it looks like the sunroof glass is already tinted, and like you say if it gets hot just close the shade.

Delayed reply I know however HEC equipment from Pt Melbourne ended up on Grays online - lock stock and barrel.

Care to share the link? HEC is located in Elizabeth SA, so I doubt that they moved machinery from SA to Vic

HEC is in Port Melbourne Vic, which is the V6 engine plant that closed last year.
HEC = Holden's Engine Company, not to be confused with Holden Enhancement Centre.

Incorrect - The engine plant at Port Melbourne is known as HEO - Holden Engine Operations.

HEC is as you said, Holden Enhancement Centre.

is that a manual one at a Canberra dealer by any chance?

I had a look at it but wasn't keen on the colour or the price they are asking.

The Northside dealer (unnamed) has had it there for a month, yes I drive past everyday on my way to work, both Canberra dealers were much more unwilling to generate a sale than the NSW dealer who eventually got my business. And who I imagine has a much smaller allocation of Redlines

Ok, it used to be HEC, I'm not sure when they changed it.

It was alway know as HEO for the 11 years I work at Port Melbourne from 2004.

I notice they still have a MY16 Red Hot SSVR manual for $61.5k there as well.

My bad, I'm still living in the 90's lol. It became HEO in 1995.

"In August, 1995, HEC announced a $200 million investment boost over a two-year period to support the introduction of four valve, double overhead camshaft (DOHC) technology, foundry modernisation and capacity expansion. It planned the volume manufacture of the DOHC Family II engines in 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 litre displacements.
Later that year, HEC became today’s HEO (Holden Engine Operations) following its re-integration into Holden manufacturing operations, poised to make a key contribution as GM moved to develop its operations in the Asia Pacific region."
