100 annually, these will instantly become collectors.

I wish him better luck than previous 'exotic' car builders have had.
If Holden couldn't find buyers for the Monaro HSV 427, this could be another Clive Palmer 'Titanic".

Just thinkin' .......... Torana GTRX (killed by bean counters) and Bolwell, Buckle, Joss, Brabham, Bullet, Giocattlo ............... and many years ago, a proposed factory at Lithgow to re-manufacture EH Holdens.
Not saying he is dreaming, but history and a world market is not with him.
It is possible to buy a 'new' E-Type Jaguar that is not a Jaguar, but an E-Type does have worldwide attraction, something a Torana does not.
I dream of a factory that can restore existing Aussie classics, regardless of brand.

Quite a few if you think about it, 100 cars a year is a car every 3.65 days less weekends and public holidays. Using NZ stat and holiday(s), there are only 228 working days a year so that becomes a car every 2.28 days.

What happens if any of the crew have days off or are sick?
Guess the superviser breaks out the whip on the crew that are in attendance, All right all you's lazy dogs, work harder faster! You's have to make up for all the lazy sick dogs that have taken the day(s) off! Now f#cken move it! ;) :D :cool:

Add the automotive production (in)efficiency factor and you'll have to double your workforce whether it's one car every 3.65 days or one car every 2.28 days :p:p:p

PS: no mention in the article if they have GM/Holden's blessing as the name is trademarked and it think GM/H would still want to protect it... If it does come to fruition, it'd likely be called something else entirely ;)
