In the somewhat wet 1972 Hardie-Ferodo 500, the lightweight HDT Torana GTR XU-1 claimed victory against the heavyweight GT-HO, driven solo for 500 miles (800 km) by Peter Brock. This would be the start of the ‘Peter Perfect’/Torana legend, and the first of five Bathurst wins for the Torana in its colourful 10-year racing career at Bathurst. This beautifully restored example is a great representation of the LJ GTR XU-1 model. The factory colour, Patina Gold is unique and displays elegance to this little pocket rocket. Sitting on period correct Sprint Master mags. Sporting the original black vinyl interior which is still in fantastic condition. Under the hood is the matching number 202 “JP” straight six engine with triple carbs. The XU-1 was produced in February of 1973 and sold in March of 1973 through City Auto Sales PTY. LTD. In Toowoomba, Queensland. An extensive amount of paperwork comes with the car too. Showing just under 47,000 miles.

This Mercedes AMG C63 is in excellent condition inside and out and not modified in any way. It has always been garaged and lived a pampered life by all of its owners and has always been serviced by Mercedes Benz until current and has only travelled just over 79,000 kilometers. It also comes with two keys, logbooks and purchase certificate from 2014. The Mercedes has never been on the track. Being a 507 Edition also adds to the desirability of this model along with the fact it is the last of the naturally aspirated V8 engines offered in a Mercedes Benz. And the stunning 373kW/610Nm 6.2-litre V8 C63 Edition 507 doesn't compromise on performance. Fully kitted out with 19-inch alloys, Nappa leather trim, power sunroof and Harman/Kardon sound system, the C63 shares top-rung status with an elite group of European sports sedans. Full-service history by Mercedes Benz. Now available for inspection by appointment only at our Kogarah facility.
In August 1970, the first ultra-performance Torana, the GTR XU-1, was developed by Holden along with Harry Firth of the Holden Dealer Team for competition in popular Series Production touring car racing within Australia. This car, built in February of 1971 is a super honest example with only very minimal alterations, only being the front seatbelts and the addition of a five-speed gearbox. The original gearbox and associated items are included with the sale of the car. Originally delivered through Kevin Dennis Motors and owned by Kevin himself who is believed to have campaigned the car in motorsport events up until 1973 when it changed hands to the second owner. The eye popping Plumdinger paintwork has been redone at some point of the cars life and still presents nicely. Inside, although showing signs of wear and tear is completely original and could either be redone or left as is by the next owner. Under the hood is the genuine matching number six-cylinder 186 engine with most of its original components which has recently been rebuilt. Still retaining its original issued Victorian number plates as well as documentation. Now available for inspection by appointment at our Kogarah facility.
