Not quite! It's an Australian made Bolwell Nagari. I think it was a pretty fair assessment of the HJ at the time. It lead to RTS, rear disc brakes and I think it's pretty fair to say Holden as a company was milking the public during this period. Doesn't change the fact I still love 'em. As for Peter Wherrett he was typically of car reporters of then and now (John Cadogan comes to mind). Only he wore dresses in his spare time as Pip. Maybe he went DRAG racing!

Non the less what holden did was affordable for the market at the time not making things with all the bells and whistles and putting themselves unaffordable and missing the shot at the average australian ... it's the mid 70s .
