Another version of the almighty Torana. Torana 1900S and 1900SL. Australian touring car champion, Colin Bond at the helm in the promotion clip. Gee he looked cool with that hairstyle with the bold sideburns and aviator style sunnies 😎. Those were the days. Driver and car as one.
The very well built Opel 1900 engine was a bit under-powered for this larger car which was really designed for a 6 or V8 engine. The 1900 was updated in the first Sunbird model with RTS suspension.
Exactly. You gotta laugh at some of the marketing tactics car makers used back in the day. I wasn't around then but gee looking at some of them really make you laugh and really grin and appreciate how carefree and vibrant things were back then, especially in the 1970s. Not to mention the fashion trends of the day. Namingly the hairstyles and clothing i.e, that of Australian Touring Car driver, Colin Bond. Thick reddish hair with bold sideburns that go halfway down the sides of his cheeks almost to his top lip. Oh and those cool aviator style sunnies he was wearing😎. That sort of cool fashion that people described as "groovy" back then. Wish I could grow my hair like that. Most men back in the seventies had hair like that. Even bold sideburns! Those were the days.
