186S
Released June
1967 One of their
all-time best sellers, Holden hit back hard from previous poor sales with the
sleeker, more modern looking HR. The 186S took over from the X2 as the sports
version of the HR series. The most notable difference being the replacement
of the X2 twin carbs, with a single, twin-barrel carb that allowed the engine
to produce the same power output with less fuel consumption. |
