History
Of the 89 XP Squires built between Feb-Aug 1965, only 23 were manual 170ci. Also, only 6 got the Palomino trim. My Squire, one of less than an estimated 10 left in the world, is probably the only Palomino 170 manual left in existence. It is currently housed in the National Motor Museum at Birdwood SA. A rare bird indeed!
Modifications
