Hello, good to see the photos. I could have sworn it had a lift up door on the passenger side that chrome poles used to hold up but I cannot seem to see it in the photos. The spoiler on the rear of the roof was flat bar steel and very solid and heavy. I see that it only had a bubble rear window. I think the red van I saw the other day had bubble windows in the side and that made me think, if it was the Major, it must have had them. I haven't seen it for 30 years! Not even a photo until today. I remember going to a van show in Port Fairy (I think - maybe Warrnambool) about 1980 and talking with people who had a yellow Holden van named Vanrat (I think it had a 454 in it) who knew some history on it. Regards, Anthony

Major Tom came to Ballarat Vic from Adelaide in about 1980. It had been in a car yard there for some time. It had a 6 cyl holden motor in it with an auto. A large moonroof, a sunroof, swivel seats in the front (at least one anyhow), a lift up door on the side hinged at the top that had chrome metal posts placed under it to hold it up, bubble windows, flared guards etc. I knew the guy who bought it and have had a few rides in it. We took it to the beaches near Geelong late 1981 and attracted a lot of attention. It sat for some years in a shed and the paint deteriorated. It was sold locally and I believe I saw it just a few weeks ago going the opposite way on a road I was travelling on. It is now painted a dull red.
