Thanks David. While we're on the subject of Kingswoods in competition, I should mention that the HK Holden entry at Bathurst in 1968 wasn’t restricted to the Monaro GTS 327s in Class D. This Kingswood 186S shared by Sib Petralia and motoring journo Jim Sullivan ran in Class C for cars costing $2251-$3000. With 145bhp from its 186 cid two-barrel six, the 1.26-tonne sedan was no threat to the dominant S-type Mini Coopers. It did finish the race though, 10th in class and some nine laps behind the class winner.
