Built in January 1976 as one of the last of the LH model, this Sunburst SL Torana was originally used by the current family owner as a daily driver from 1993.

The flares and bonnet scoop are genuine SL/R aftermarket spares and the reverse cowl bonnet scoop is operational. At the same time the bumper bars were re-chromed and the stainless was polished. All glass is original except for the windscreen and a new rubber kit was fitted.
One the inside, the Torana has been retrimmed with genuine SL/R black trim with Gold custom inserts to match the exterior colour. The dash is original with a genuine 177,709 Kilometres on the clock with aftermarket Autometer Tacho, oil and temp gauges. The steering wheel is an aftermarket SAAS wheel and the gears are selected via a B&M shifter.
