Did you know that in 1970, a log book service (3000 miles) was $6.90 - FIXED PRICE!

That's what it says in the log book from Pops.

Pops had his 66000 mile service in 1989. He now has 67000 miles on the clock..... :lol: All servicing was done at the same place in Parramatta. All stamped in the book....how cool is that!

When ya get the clock round to 00000 take it to a BMW dealer and ask them to service it for $6.90 once it gets to 3,300 miles.

When I had the Fiat 124S coupe, I used to stamp my own book. We were an authorised Fiat agent. Is that cooler! :lol:

Neither, Mick. I worked for Adams Automotive at Hornsby. We prepped a Fiat 125 for the `69 or `70 Bathurst race. Bob Forbes' car? I think- it's a long time ago. :wink:

I worked for Larke Hoskins. We had Leyland, Rover, Fiat, Lancia, Rambler, Land Rover, Triumph, Honda and Subaru. Fiat & Lancia were the same franchise and the rest were initially seperate though when Grenville Motors and AMI closed Rover and Triumph came under the same franchise. Rambler just died.
