Representing the final model in a body style that debuted with the HQ series in 1971, the WB utilised the same major sheetmetal of the early series HQ but added a new modern nosecone, headlights and interior. The rugged full chassis provided a durable platform that also offered superior room and comfort when compared to Japanese rivals. Engine choices included the 3.3 litre six cylinder, 4.2 litre and 5 litre V8s. The WB Holden remains a popular classic today. Trax has captured all the details in 1/43rd scale, even down to the aluminium tray. Get your Aussie icon while stocks last.

The HR series Holden represented a toned down, more acceptable design compared to the controversial HD model. Despite the razor edged styling though, both the HD and HR variants continued Holden’s dominance of the Australian market. This 1/43rd scale HR panel van represents a popular workhorse that is prized by collectors today as survival rates for commercial vehicles is generally very low due to the tough lives they endured. Luckily though you can enjoy this classic Holden hauler in model form - but only if you move quickly as stocks are very limited.
1975 Holden HJ Monaro GTS Coupe
The HJ series was the first update of the extremely popular HQ. The HJ model featured a more squared off design that was influenced by the US Chevrolet. The Coupe model retained the rear tail lights in the bumper bar as per the HQ. The GTS coupe offered 4.2 or 5 litre Holden V8 engine options, factory mag wheels and unique spoilers. Also included in the GTS package was unique bucket seats and comprehensive instrumentation. As the muscle car period started to wane, sales of the HJ GTS coupe were relatively small, so original examples today are highly prized collectibles. Trax can offer you a wonderful 1/43rd scale replica at a fraction of the price of the original, but only if you order soon. Stocks are strictly limited.
1979 Holden TD Gemini Promotional Van
The ever popular Gemini was offered by Holden dealers as part of a joint venture with the Japanese company Isuzu (of which General Motors owned a sizeable share).

This example features the Holden Lion in a series of promotional graphics that would certainly help it stand out from the crowd, even in 1/43rd scale. Trax has recreated this little gem faithfully. It’s a must buy for any Holden enthusiast.

1965 XP Ford Falcon Squire Wagon
Influenced by the American versions, this XP Squire was the last word in luxury wagons in Australia. Featuring the 200 cubic inch six cylinder, luxury red interior, deluxe wheel covers and faux woodgrain trim, the Squire was a stand out in any company. The Squire was the last in the series that had started with XL and XM models. Making the XP very rare however, was the fact that the Squire was replaced with the Fairmont later in the XP series, meaning production was very low indeed. Trax are to be congratulated for producing this rare bird in 1/43rd scale. Round put your XP, wagon or Squire collection with this amazing replica before they sell out.
