1974 Holden Torana LH SLR 5000 review from Australia and New Zealand

"Aussie Classic at a cheapish price"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Steering linkages have become quite worn over time and need replacing. Also replaced water pump and reconditioned the radiator due to overheating. One done the car now runs fine. Due to age of the vehicle the car suffers from some wind noise through seal etc particularly around the dash.

General comments?

Very comfortable and reliable car to drive. Handling is not the best, but it looks the goods. Bit of an Aussie Classic.
