Club president Rod Grummitt, who organised the visit, said members were thrilled at theopportunity to see the car and meet its designer.

"Ever since we saw EFIJY in the media, we've wanted to see the car in the flesh so when we wereoffered the opportunity by Holden we jumped at the chance,” Rod said.

“Even having seen pictures of the car, everyone here today is absolutely rapt at seeing the car. It'sjust an amazing vehicle and such a beautiful design.

“The club members absolutely love it. They all want to leave their cars here and trade them in foran EFIJY.

“EFIJY pays respect to the era of the original car but it's exactly what we think the FJ would havelooked like if production hadn't stopped.

The club members are stoked at this opportunity. They are all going to have their photos framedand this is a day they will all remember."
