Info about this vehicle:

1953 HOLDEN FX 215 SEDAN - WHITE/GREEN RACING LIVERY - 22,791 KM - TWIN SU CARBS - EXTRACTORS
1953 Holden FX 215 4-Door Sedan. 215 I6 (3.5 litre) petrol. 3-speed manual transmission. Indicating 22,791 kilometres. 4 seats.
Description
They don't come much more significant than this. The Holden FX was Australia's first locally manufactured car, and the 215 Sedan is the core of that story. This 1953 example is one of the earliest Holdens, and it presents in a striking custom racing livery that turns heads while still being distinctly, proudly Australian. The white body wears dark green centre stripes running the full length of the bonnet and roof, complemented by a green #53 roundel on the front guard, a tidy nod to the car's birth year. The paintwork is high-gloss and looks very good, with no visible rust or significant bodywork issues evident from the photos.
The vendor has had twin SU carburettors and extractors fitted to the 215 six, giving this old girl a bit more to play with than she left the factory with. Aftermarket slot-style alloy mags replace the original steelies, and period mud flaps add a nice detail touch. The triple aftermarket gauge pod under the dash keeps an eye on oil pressure and temps, which is smart on a modified engine. The odometer reads an indicating 22,791 km, and while that number is not independently verified, combined with the overall presentation it suggests this car has been well looked after.
The FX is no longer a car you just stumble across. Clean, running examples with this kind of character and history are increasingly rare and the market reflects it. Whether you are a collector, a show-goer, or someone who just wants to own a genuine piece of Australian automotive heritage with some personality, this is the one. Wear and tear common with age has been noted by the vendor, and the underside has been painted.
