Launched in mid-1988, the GTS was available as auto or manual but in white only and received several mechanical and handling upgrades to create a ‘club sport’ type vehicle. Nissan SVD launched a second GTS in mid-’89. This time the car was presented in a far more extroverted Beacon Red with white 16-inch wheels. The second GTS’s interior was restyled; the rear seat was heavily sculpted to match the front Scheels. There was a Momo steering wheel, and the trim was a charcoal grey. As with the white GTS, the build run was 200 and all cars had a numbered dashboard badge. This car is build number 067 of the 200 examples produced. It is a factory manual car and still retains its logbook and owner’s manual. Please contact one of our friendly staff to make an appointment to view this car at our Kogarah showroom.
An Aussie legend on two and four wheels. Wayne Gardner’s career highlights include no less than 18 Grand Prix wins from a decade long partnership with Honda, along with becoming the first Australian to take the coveted 500ccMotorcycle World Championship title. Following his retirement from front line motorcycle racing at the end of 1992, Gardner made a much publicised switch to touring cars. This in turn led to Gardner’s foray into the world of road cars, in the form of the Wayne Gardner Racing Road Division's Group A Commodore. Sensing a gap in the market between the increasingly expensive HSV products and the regular Commodore line up. Gardner's outfit planned to offer a wide range of engine, suspension and bodywork modifications at relatively affordable prices. Tapping into the expertise available via his racing team WGR upgrades included a cold-air induction system re-profiled camshaft, revised computer settings, intake and exhaust mods to increase power to 195kW. Based on the contemporary VR/VS Commodore with its slippery 'aero' styling, WGR''s Group A body package was the work of Sydney design studio Talon which included a deep front spoiler with integrated driving lights, side skirts and a boot mounted rear wing complete with carbon-fiber end plates. The choice of wheels was the 18inch 5 spoke alloy MOMO wheel complemented by the custom Recaro interior supplied by Autotek other cosmetic touches included a MOMO steering wheel with a carbon-fiber center console. The main objective for WGR vehicles were to build them with quality tailored for customer requirements. This particular example is totally original which comes with all documentation showing Wayne Gardner Racing as the first owner, logbooks and service history. It is the prototype vehicle (001/033 in the Series 1 model) with unique features that the other 32 examples did not receive such as larger front bucket seats, carbon fiber air box and larger 18-inch diameter rims and not 17-inch items the other cars were fitted with. The vehicle presents in great condition throughout with minimum wear and tear only traveled just over 89,000km This rare classic is a must for any Holden collector or car enthusiast.

Now available for is sale is this beautifully maintained Holden VL Commodore Group A Plus Pack. Released in 1986 it was hot on top of Grice’s Bathurst win. Due to the controversial Energy Polariser, there were two versions of the VL Group A. Holden could see no technical merit in the Polariser and thus refused to fit it to the cars, so Brock refused to put decals with his signature on cars without it. As a result, Brock’s signature only appears on the higher spec variant of which approximately 132 units were made. “Numbered one to five hundred and going fast” is what the original sales brochure read when first released and today whenever advertised they last just as long!! With the current owner of seven years and the prior owner from 2004 and an active member of the Brock Commodore Owner’s Association of Australia. The exclusive Permanent Red has only had touch ups in some areas and is in fantastic condition. Look inside and again it is all about originality.
