THE Torana Club display held at The National Holden Motor Museum on Saturday 3 May attracted 14 vehicles from the Hunter Valley Torana Club, whose members had participated in a convoy to Coffs Harbour.
“The array of beautifully prepared vehicles included the Australian designed Torana LCs of 1969 through the range to the later performance models which ceased production in 1978 and were the basis for the car racing at Bathurst and Sandown,” Museum spokesperson Steve Little told News Of The Area.
The exhibition, in front of The Bunker on City Hill, attracted both serious Holden fans from the region plus visitors passing by who were drawn in by the colourful collection of vehicles on display.
The standout vehicle for the judges of the “Car of the Day Award” was Travis Sullivan’s highly modified 1977 Holden Torana LX SL/R 5000 which drew the most votes to also win the National Holden Motor Museum’s Choice Award.
“Despite the rain, there was an excellent crowd who appreciated the warming coffee and food at the Brock Café and viewing the latest Cartoon Exhibition,” Steve said.
“Many of the exhibitors took the opportunity to purchase Holden memorabilia at the Bunkers shop.”
The next exhibition is a selection of the “very sought after and expensive” HSV Commodores on Sunday 18 May from 10am.
