by John O’Farrell I’m custodian of a Holden Gemini that I believe is the best surviving Gemini wagon in Australia. Since it’s in stock specification and showroom condition, I make this bold statement based on my on-line involvement with the nationwide Gemini community. KCJ 193 was certainly good enough to be selected for Home Delivery, […]
