Judging by peoples' reminiscences here, it's sounding like the Mad Mouse was almost a MAD MAX kind of inspiration! 😁😆😅🤣 We ARE talking the same country!! All things Strine and all ! ! !

i always wanted a HR when i was a young gun, but with deep dish chromies, triple carbs, extracters, lowered suspension and airhorns 😂😂😂😂

“Bought ‘me first Monaro in 72 “ .,,, beautiful car . Priceless

Over the 70 years GM built cars in Australia they would upgrade as little as possible to maximise profit. GMs thought they’d get away with the grey motor but Ford and Chrysler had the bigger, more powerful options, hence GM were forced to upgrade the EH with the red motor to compete. The big three of the late 20th Century were all pretty reliable if maintained to spec, because they were so bloody basic little could go wrong. Once Toyota got passed their first few efforts Toyota engineering was superior in comparison to GM, Ford and Chrysler. Why did people keep buying these dinosaurs…the power of marketing and advertising created tribalism.

Are you sure that's a Morris Marina? I don't see the Piano Dents.

My first car was an FB wagon. I was told I could have it if I took it away immediately. My brother and I pushed it home about a half mile on gravel wearing thongs. lol I was 14 at the time. My first road car was a FB sedan. I had it backwards down a ditch the first day I got mt license. Got it pulled out by a Torana, oh the shame, and all I had was a cracked taillight. I decided to paint it. I read in the Hot Rod mags that people were giving their cars 12 coats of colour and 4 coats of clear. So ,I did, enamel paint over a 2-hour period, and for some strange reason it ran in curtains and didn't dry for months.😁😁

I dont think this guys knows what he's talking about. Both the e46 and the e90 have hydraulic steering electric steering, which was introduced on the f30s 😂

That’s a great car pat you have keeped it very well ,TED

The A great Holden as i owned one of the same colour and all I wish I still had one of that hr premiers sedans , the best modal Holden built in that 1960 year thank you TED M still in the ACT after many years ,

E90 over e46 any day. This guy is a wannabe mechanic and speaks only misinformation..

We played this on a record player back in 1980-81. 10” single, in red, flexible plastic.

quite a change from the 1970s ad a bit of a dose of Elton John perhaps

"Jet Smooth" like the "Jet Snooth" Chevy Impala!

This advertisement is a study in gloating😂

and where are they now long gone and forgotten

Thanks for posting this. I've had my HT Brougham for 25 years and ive never seen this. Nor will I EVER sell my old girl.

The guy driving the car is alive and well in Queensland, great bloke.😊

Power walking wanker. Tyre looks cooler.

My first car was one of these same colour Loved it BRIAN

As a reference trace the Austin Freeway......an Oz production..........

Blue Streak motor huh ? That was another missed opportunity by BL. This was even used in a couple of prototype MGB 6's before the C was released. A lighter 2.5ltr straight 6 went well in its' role in an MG but BL UK wouldn't wear it. They could've had an excellent engine for many applications in UK models on their books,& eminently tuneable for sports & motorsport. An Australian motor in British cars ? What could have been.........

Ford Australia 🇦🇺 should still be going

Great memories of that time. Do you know what year it was?

Had a 1970 Hg brougham for 21 years then I sold it

This bloke treats his cars the same as Jay Leno. Doesn’t let them near water. Leno instructs his workshop to only wipe down the cars rather than wash with water.

t is bad to hear the two gentlemen's negative assessment of Lloyd Alexander TS. The model is a 4-stroke engine with front-wheel drive, and not, as stated, a 2-stroke engine with rear-wheel drive. The car was a reliable and economical car, which many Germans and Northern Europeans greatly enjoyed. I was the happy owner of a 25 HP 4 gears Lloyd Alexander TS Kombi while studying at university in the early 70's.

I'm really surprised that all those regulators failed so early. I've owned my 2005 E46 M3 for eight years now and I've never had one window regulator fail on me. I've had a broken window button break because the plastic is not very strong or the design is poor. But that's it. Also the blower motor and regulator for that went on BOTH my E90 335XI and My E46 M3. Replaced them both myself as I do all my own work on those cars.

Would have thought the air freight would double the Torana price.

Beautiful

This little Sprite had an aluminum block v8 Buick. Sideways it would go.

My first car. I bought it in 1976 for $400. The only real trouble I had was with the CV joints. I wish I still had it. It had more interior space than some 6 cylinder cars I have owned since. This was a heavy car; it was made of steel. Because of its weight it was never going to be a race car but it would sit on highway speeds all day. It was comfortable. The suspension worked as advertised. Oh, it did not like wet weather. Had to keep a can of WD40 in the glove box.

Both the E90 and the E46 have full hydraulic steering. Electronic steering was introduced with the F30. Great video

Bloody legend OUR SIR REG❤❤❤❤❤

The E46 is a great looking car. The E90 looks heavier and bloated to me. I recently changed some bushes on my E46 and got the alignment done, and it drives like it’s on rails. I also love the hydraulic steering. Mine has the purple steering rack. Nice size too. Not too big. I also love the M Sport bumpers. Lovely cars.

If you showed the rear would have been better.

❤

Nice car but for my taste too much Nasco stuff. It seems to be a thing lately to load up your old holden with the whole catalog.. I grew up with an EH as the family car, ours had zero nasco and other ehs i knew of were same. What ours had was a Ferris radio, it was fitted below dash and slid out to be a portable, had its own internal battery and speaker.

Beautiful love the colour 😍

First thing to bring up about the e46 should probably be the RACP failure that’s so common. Also rear wheel speed sensors

Mantap bossku...

Red motor a big big improvement to grey motor but holden kept it too long until 1985

My Dad purchased a Gold SL brand new. Excitement is the last thing you got driving these slugs.

1:51 Ummm, probably the most sought after M3 is the E30.

Denny Mooney was right. When Holden released the Cruze it took sales away from the Commodore. The Torana would not have saved Holden. The Torana would have cost nearly as much to build as the Commodore yet it could not be sold at the same price for obvious reasons. People just need to accept the fact that Australia is too small of a market for a car manufacturer to justify manufacturing cars here.

Not pacer steering wheel it was standard

John Laws

Nice Video😎👌

Beautiful entertainment addtion of the Astor 'Diamond Dot' press button valve radio.

Great vid. BTW it's a 'Bonnet' not a Hood

Missed opportunity definitely would have gotten one as this was awesome and not a dunnydoor fan give me the old Kingswoods back anyday as a real holden and this torana was awesome
