Description

This lot is no longer available

The LC Torana was introduced in October 1969 as a substantial revision of the HB, turning what had essentially been a re-badged Vauxhall Viva into a truly Australian car. Available with both four and six-cylinder engines (the bigger-engined models had a longer 100-inch wheelbase) and in two or four-door body styles, the new Torana was a particularly handsome design. The LC Torana was awarded Wheels magazine's coveted Car of the Year prize for 1969 and quickly became the best-selling car in its class. Trim levels included the S and SL sedans, while for the more sporting driver there was the new GTR model which ultimately gave birth to the legendary racing homologation model, the GTR XU-1.
