Hi Everyone,

Today we have ordered the above 1:18 scale model.

This is from the Classic Carlectable order form:

Holden & HRT took the opportunity at the 2008 Supercheap Auto 1000 to allow all Holden supporters the chance to share in the celebration of Holden's 60 year history and proud association and contribution to Australian motor sport by presenting stunning commemorative liveried cars.

The effect of the 3D chrome-silver version of the teams famous racing lion on the cars sides and the special 60 year logo on the bonnet was simply striking and fitted in perfectly with the unmistakable day-glo red and pearl 2008 livery.
Although the great race did not prove to be a memorable one for the Holden fans, the amazing presentation of the 2008 Bathurst car is sure to be remembered.
After the announcement of Mark Skaife's retirement it will be very sought after.

According to the order form this model is limited to 1500.
Product number 18371.

Alastair and I talked about the car during Bathurst and thought it would be great if there was a model made.

It will add a very talked about car to our displays and we are very much looking forward to adding it to our collection.

Delivery is expected 2nd quarter 2009.

Stay tuned to our blog for any future updates on this item.
