Holden’s SLR5000, known as L34 in its Bathurst-winning race spec, was the V8 successor to the nimble Torana XU-1, and debuted by Peter Brock as he won the final two races of his first touring car championship title in 1974. But it was Colin Bond who was the star of Harry Firth’s Holden Dealer Team in the five-race manufacturer’s championship.

HDT pipped the Falcon contingent of Moffat, Goss and Carter with a final victory at Phillip Island. This classic cinema film represents Aussie motoring racing – seventies style. In a much different scenario to today’s high-tech Supercars, we revisit the days of long hair, flared jeans and leisurely pit stops as well as look at the mighty Torana SL/R 5000.

Plus highlights of the Torana L34 victories at Bathust 1975 and 1976 all on one great video hosted by Peter Brock and John Harvey.
