i believe the first batch had 400 cars made (july/august) with verticle 1/4 panel indicators and then another 400 (october/november) cars with horizontal 1/4 panel indicators. the second batch may have had as few as 100 made but i think it was another 400. from memory the man himself was unsure, but there would have been more than 400

how many did not fit the blue/manual - green/auto builds. would they have been special orders or whichever colour/gearbox combo you wanted

Thumbs up

good-ay all you good folks.
the site with answers to all your goss needs is
http://johngossspecial.com/
i have been a forum member for a number of years and have always hankered after a blue goose!

julz i also know of one sitting in a shed but funds and a owner who does not know if he wants to sell has stopped me (my find is just south of kingaroy)

a good example was resently on car sales for $55k.

Looking good Grant. Can't wait to see it out and about. Do you know who owns the one along the Oxford Highway near the nw Coles? Gussing it is a Goss by the colour through the car cover , but never seen it uncovered.

it is looking very nice, good luck with finding everything and putting it back together. it will be great to have another cruising around; there can never be too many coupes

my old Goss was a blue auto and all the original ones i have seen over times were auto too, so I think the combos are just a myth. Finally found the ID plates this week.
