My grandfather bought one of the first VF Valiant Regal Coupes made - the dealer didn't tell him it arrived for 2 weeks so it could be put on the rotating pedestal in the showroom.
First Auto car they owned, and Nanna apparently spend the first week of driving it hitting the brake pedal instead of the non-existent clutch.
Sold it 3 years later because the heavy doors drooped so much they had to be lifted then pushed shut (ran out of lock striker adjustment).
Replaced with a 6cyl torana - lost all brakes when the 4 wheel drums went over a big water puddle - ran down a steep hill into a ditch (fortunately she had it down to first gear to slow it down).
