Can anybody tell me the exact month/year the GQ was released in Australia? And how about the same for the TD42? Also what was the first model? SWB, LWB, Ute or did they all come out the same month/year?

Thanks

Thanks guys.... :D


And yea...Mud Runner yours would be #12 for the production models. I am pretty sure there would have been some pre-productions that came into Aus. for testing and stuff like that.
