    Mike,
    I'm not an expert but it looks like a Series 2 or very early 2a 6-cylinder (from the grille type).
    If you're not buying it please let me know....I have a mate a few Km's away who can store it for me until I find the courage to let the wife know I have another one......

    Looks like a good find, wagon with safari roof.....

    Best of luck with it.

    With that grille, does that mean it's a 6cyl? my IIA has that same grille and I've never seen another before. I've been wondering if mine was originally a six. It has a 4 now but it has been played with before. But yes it's a II or even IIA.

    Series 2a. If the grille is original, it is a six, which means it was built after 1967, and the narrow headlights mean before 1969.

    So a reasonable guess would be a 1968, six cylinder 2a, 109 station wagon.

    From memory, the grey was unusual for six cylinder ones though, which may suggest the grille, or at least the badge, is not original (could have been a previous owner's addition on being converted to a Holden engine).
