A9X ANNIVERSARY COLLECTORS' EDITION!
"I AM THE GREATEST!"
Do you understand what these phrases mean; “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday,” “Works Team” or “Homologation Special”? If you answered yes, chances are that you lived through the glory days when race cars were road cars, and road cars were race cars.

The days when you whacked down the cash on the Dealer’s counter, ‘sign here, press hard – three copies’, drove your hot Holden off the showroom floor, made minimal modifications, installed a roll cage and bolted on a set of big rims and tyres and took it to the racetrack – to race! It’s an even money bet that you probably drove it to the track and drove it home too.

Australia motorsport grew from the amateur days when ordinary blokes built their own race cars at home or, as the 1960’s progressed, they could buy a car equipped with cutting edge power, performance and handling from their local motor Dealer and race that. By the early 1970’s things were hotting up, a horsepower race and obsession with victory at Mount Panorama saw the three Australia auto makers release ever more powerful cars. ‘The General’ understood the advantage of a good power-to-weight ratio and concentrated on its little Giant Killer, the Torana, which grew into the muscular vee eight warrior with the LH model’s SL/R 5000. This was developed to the next level with the L34 and then evolved by addressing what were seen as the few weaknesses in that incarnation - to the mighty A9X.

To many, the A9X will always be Number One. The A9X blazed a trail of glory across the Australian motorsport landscape in the hands of the greatest names ever seen.

It’s the car that Brocky did the biggest demolition job on the opposition ever seen at Bathurst in that famous year of 1979. The A9X is, to many, the greatest racing touring car of all time.

The much loved A9X recently celebrated the 30^th anniversary since its release in 1977. You can relive the birth of what many believe is the greatest homologated road car to ever attack an Aussie track. JUST HOLDENS Magazine has created a one-off, never-to-be-repeated SPECIAL COLLECTOR’S EDITION to commemorate the 30^th Anniversary of the debut of the A9X. It’s okay if you are too young to have answered yes to the three questions in the first paragraph, this great one-off publication will help you understand what all the fuss was about.

In either case, you will be sorry if you miss this.
