Any of our down under cousins live in the Melbourne area? I am wondering how accessible the GM Holden LTD main building is to regular people. I hear they have some amazing prototypes in the lobby including the Coupe 60 that !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and I have been bombarding you with lately. I have only seen a few hints at it being there, but no physical information. I would so spend any money I have taking a trip back to Australia to tour the buildings.
Even though GM is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! operations for Holden, Holden will keep desing and other operations open, including their multi-million dollar !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I just want to know where they are so I can see them at least once.

I’ve been past and seen the sandman, but never tried to get in. I work in Melbourne, do you need me to see if I can get inside?

Not making fun of her, just that she was hit with the ugly stick a few too many times.

I tried to see if they offered tours or anything of the facility. If you have time to check for us that would be amazing.

Not overly. But it’s just a Monaro convertible, I don’t think it’s especially ugly. And I want more Monaro.

I guess I just really don’t like the proportions and without the roof it looks kinda boring. But yes! ALL THE MONARO!!!!

I swung by there the other day on the way back from a car show ;) I’ll probably make a post about it soon. Long story short: I couldn’t see the Sandman, it must be out somewhere. But the Coupe 60 was there.
They’re open Monday-Saturday (it was a Sunday), the cars seem to just be in the HQ lobby. I suspect you could walk in any time they’re open and they’d probably let you stroll around at least a little.
Ps. I parked my MR2 in that grey pavement section, near the tree. I forgot this pic was here or I’d have taken a similar one to prove it! But I did get pics.

not accessible unless there on offical business.

small shop downstairs with a few of the prototypes is all you’ll be able to see.
