The Bathurst 500 of 1968 was a significant year for Holden as it was the very first time that the Holden Dealer Team had entered this race. While the Palmer/West team drove to second placing, the '68 race laid the foundations for many famous Ford v's Holden clashes in the decades to follow.

HOLDEN EH Sedan

The EH Holden, or affectionately known as just the "EH" by Holden enthusiasts, sold an incredible 257,000 cars in just 18 months after it was launched in August 1963.

While the EH styling was derived from it's predecessor the EJ, it's brand new engine quickly gained market acceptance. The EH signalled the start of Holden's famous "red" six cylinder engine, that remained almost unchanged for over 20 years. Three levels of models were available under the EH banner; the Standard, Special and Premier. This luxury version offered leather seats, full carpeting, centre console, metallic paint and even a heater/demister!

Even today the EH Holden is often described as the best Holden ever.

The 1963 Armstrong Bathurst 500 saw six EH S4 sedans entered. The S4 sold for less than £1200, therefore making it eligible for class C. This Scuderia Veloce entry ruined any victory chance due to a broken tailshaft.

HOLDEN EH Wagon

Following its release in 1963, the EH Holden wagon, like its sedan counterpart, quickly gained popularity amongst the Australian motoring public. With its extra space and load capacity, many an EH wagon served as a delivery vehicle during the week and as the family transport for outings on weekends.

TORANA GTR XU1

Originally released in August 1970 as a highly modified version of the previous GTR Torana, the XU1 was GMH's answer to the all conquering Ford Falcon GT.

Originally fitted with a 186 cubic inch (3048cc) engine, modified with triple Stromberg carburettors, improved exhaust system and suspension with larger disc brakes and fitted with front and rear spoilers, the XU1 immediately began to make its mark on race circuits around Australia.

In 1972 with the introduction of the LJ series, the XU1 was fitted with the new 202 (3310cc) engine now delivering 190 b.h.p. and a top speed in street trim of 125mph.

At its third attempt, the XU1 won Bathurst taking Peter Brock to the first of his many victories in that race.

Although Allan Moffat would never again achieve the dizzying 1-2 finish of the 1977 Bathurst 1000, he would race the famous XC coupe for another two years. Unfortunately, after a race dominated entirely by Peter Brock and the Toranas, the black Cobra would come to a grinding halt up Mountain Straight with a broken conrod with only 27 laps remaining.
