Just discovered this months ago. Grew up in the states but love Bob Dyer here. Love his combo aussie (not sure which area)/southeastern USA accent. Very unique.
(SPOILER) As generous as they were on the "which ruler" question, the question made reference to *March* 1881 (when Alexander II of Russia was assassinated), not *September* 1881 (when President Garfield was assassinated).
Some lad invented a crash rising car seat when he drove at a brick wall 30mph no seat belt the seat incursion rose stopped the body moving forward pulled him back into the seat he did 60mph and walked out ok Never seen that Invention again rising rack roller system - and the lad who walked into work with a frictional hinge BE dammed how he put it togeather it was sent to NASA as any friction may cause a spark .
Seems to be a bit of a format change over the 3 videos of this show on RUclips. this one has trilons instead of boxes, no buy out, and the option to keep or trade, also there seems to be a schedule change as he mentions the hemi pacer would be offered next week and the board has prizes revealed
@Conniptions886 Not exactly sure when she would of gotten the actual car, but its likely it could of been gifted a bit after the show. Incidentally i work for a company that stores vehicle releases and some of the VG's were released on the 1st of January 1970, quite possible it was used in promotions and offered as prizes before the actual public release.

I really love watching the old stuff absolutely loved it.
Bloody hell, Dyer was a consummate pro... So slick between banter and advertising..
'You was or you were?' Thank you George. XD
My late Mum loved this show....in fact, I liked it myself.

I think he came from Tennessee.
Vaguely remember this show as a child. Great to watch
I can understand why this was a popular show down under.
Bob was so casual and endearing!
For what reason??????

You are absolutely correct, whilst allowing a variation of ruler, the United States/Garfield was the incorrect answer.
as a lad we used to go around ask for stickers at the BP and other places
the STP sticker was hard to find

That's one super-cool grand prize...a Hemi Pacer!
Sure is. My Grandma (Jill) ended up winning it!
It was a six cylinder.
Great stuff, that’s a good show.
