Over the coming months we hope to be
able to provide you with more original brochures from
the manufacturers. Of course, if you have a brochure
and are prepared to share it with visitors to this
site we would be appreciative! As the documents on
these pages are in .pdf format, you will need the free
Adobe reader software to view it. If you need to get

Gemini TX (1976)
Pages:
8 Size: 1314k
Most
Australians knew that the Holden Gemini was
a re-badged Isuzu, but were unaware the little
car was being sold in the USA as the Buick
Opel and Pontiac T1000, in Brazil as the Chevy
Chevette, in the UK as the Vauxhall Chevette
and in Germany as the Opel Kadett. Regardless
of what it was called, the Gemini was terrific
little car, offering great value for money
and providing quite a good drive courtesy
of its well sorted chassis and rear wheel
drive configuration. |

LJ Torana (1972)
Pages:
6 Size: 1455k
The
LC Torana at the time offered Australia's
first and only 6-cylinder "compacts",
and as the brochure suggests you could now
enjoy big car performance with small car
handling and economy. Perhaps the biggest
news was for lovers of the GTR, which now
had the 3300 six as standard. This brochure
features an options list of custom features
and accessories, and the specifications
for the different engine combinations available
from the 4 cylinder 1200 to the 3300 6 cylinder. |

LJ Torana 2 & 4 Door 6 cylinder
(1972)
Pages:
2 Size: 418k
The ever popular '2250' and '2850' Holden
red 6 cylinders motors were incredibly popular
in the larger 'Kingswood' sedans, and their
availability in the Torana would ensure
the new models success. Perhaps the six
was more popular for reliability and longevity
rather than performance gains, but whatever
the reason the 6 cylinder models proved
to be extremely popular |

LJ Torana 4 Door SL (1972)
Pages:
2 Size: 442k
Once
upon a time it was assumed that the only
true luxury cars were big cars. But that
was once upon a time. Now meet Torana 6-cylinder
SL... This is the opening line in the brochure
for the LC SL Torana, a touch of class in
a sector previously dominated by utalitarian
'keep-it-cheap' vehicles. |

LJ Torana GTR (1972)
Pages:
2 Size: 435k
Performace
in the GTR was a given, particularly as
it was fitted with the impressive '3300'
six producing 135hp. But the designers were
to ensure the interior was not forgotten,
incorporating a sporting steering wheel,
sports instruments and (for the time) sporty
bucket seats. However exactly what "talk-starting
vinyl" is remains to us a mystery! |

LJ Torana 4 Cylinder 1200/1300 Deluxe
(1972)
Pages:
2 Size: 414k
Every
new model line-up needs an entry level vehicle,
and in the case of the LC Torana it was
the 1200 and 1300 4 cylinder versions. Dubbed
by the marketing team at Holden as "Little
Big Wheel", the brochure speaks in
glowing terms of the size of the boot and
the "wall-to-wall" carpet. We
would suggest more appropriate wording to
be "For those on a tight budget". |
