COLIN BOND’S 1971 HDT LC TORANA GTR XU-1

-

Biante Model Cars has released a new model of the Holden Dealer Team LC Torana GTR XU-1 driven to victory by Colin Bond at the 1971 Sandown 250. This 1:18 die-cast model boasts fully opening parts, highly detailed engine bay, interior and undercarri­age along with beautiful nishing throughout. Coming in a limited edition of only 402 pieces with a numbered Certi cate of Authentici­ty, it’s a release that shouldn’t be missed. The LC missed out on winning too many big races – outgunned by the bigger Fords mostly, so Bondy’s win at Sandown is certainly one for Holden enthusiast­s. The LC and LJ Toranas were (and remain) greatlooki­ng cars and this model captures that beautifull­y. It also shows off team boss Harry Firth’s minimalist attitude at the time to signwritin­g – the sponsors’ logos look like stickers added at the last minute!
