The VP Commodore is where we started to see technologies and enhancements make its way into the HSV range. One notable enhancement was the introduction of Independent Rear Suspension (IRS); Holden found this introduction so important it placed IRS badges in the interior as seen in the photographs. 387 of these cars were produced from October 1991 - June 1993. The early 90s is where Holden really...

The AMC Eagle is a very interesting and influential car, which brought about the concept of "cross-over" vehicles at a time when 4WD was reserved for serious off-roaders and workhorses. The concept of the cross-over has flourished since, with many of today's brands offering products stemming from AMC's innovative idea from the late 70s. This example of a 1982 SX/4 hatch is in fairly good condition...

Basil Green motors is a former car manufacturer based in South Africa. They were best known for tuning Fords as well as producing and racing these cars. This Mk 1 Capri (also known as the Perana) is one of 500 originally made by Basil Green and has the matching numbers to prove it. Basil Green put the 302 Windsor block (replacing the V6 that the car originally came with). This engine was the same...

The early naughties is when Holden started to differentiate the HSV from the rest of the commodore range. HSVs before this era were more simplistic, and were considered to many as just a tuned SS with a big spoiler on the back. The VX is where Holden introduced styling changes such as unique rear and front lights and interior panels that were unique to the HSV range. This model also came along...

One of the iconic hatchbacks of the 80s and early 90s, the Peugeot 205 GTI is fast becoming a classic of the era. The shorter stroke 1.6 litre engine, like the one featured in this particular car, is famed for being revvy and eager when compared to the more torquier 1.9L version of the engine (available alongside the 1.6 in the 205 GTI from 1987). This particular model of the GTI (Phase 1.5) came...
