[quote F5E80D405MC31D5P]i think that brock could see there was a market for limited build cars for the public that was associated with the race product the cortina was a homologation build car some of the others out there were just a famous name on tarted up car to shift cars.[/quote] You're correct cj429 on the race homologation links with 'special vehicle' road car production, certainly in the Brock/HDT model. On the face of it, Brock had secured the backing of some major dealers to ensure the survival of Holden’s famous race team following GM-H’s shock withdrawal from the sport in 1980. In return Brock would put his name to personally-modified high-performance Commodore V8 road cars, with premium pricing to ensure HDT dealers could generate enough profits to justify their support of the race team. However, Brocky also planned to use his high-performance road car operation as the manufacturing basis for homologation of parts for racing (big-valve L34 heads etc) provided he could build his appropriately-equipped road cars in the minimum number required (500 units). PB would soon discover that building and selling 500 'special vehicles' was not an easy task. Harry Firth had it comparatively easy with the GT500, when the minimum road car requirement was only 100 examples!
