Random # 216: LH Torana SL/R 5000
Perhaps the owner - let's call him 'Rob' - is a dentist? |
This rather striking SL/R 5000 "hasn't been out of the shed for a while," according to its owner. They say timing is everything!
It's a straight SL/R, and not an L34, despite the bolt-on guards. Therefore, it's fitted with the 5.0 litre V8 and four-speed 'box but doesn't have the engine modifications and other heavy-duty features designed primarily for competition duties at the Bathurst 1000 endurance race (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathurst_1000).
None of this matters, though. It's still an extraordinary car and an icon of Aussie motoring!
Want to see more Toranas and classic Holdens? What about other models? Just use the search facility - the magnifying glass icon in the top right of screen - to type in what you're looking for. There's everything from Aussie cars, through to Italian, Japanese, German, French and American marques to be seen.
