1974 Holden Torana LH review from Australia and New Zealand
"A classic pocket-rocket just waiting to be done up"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken clutch linkage.
Blocked jets in the carby.
Popped 2 welch plugs.
General comments?
The LH Torana has a very "1970's" look, which I quite like, it is a small/medium car and still has an engine bay big enough to fit a big V8 (eg. a 506ci), and even in standard form handles very well for a 26 year old car.

![]() ![]() | I love Torana's, it was a rough car, but it went well and was heaps of fun |
