Rare and highly sought-after factory specification
“Special” badges on front guards are from an HR model, not HD, but have been on the car for over 20 years and retained for originality of presentation.
Condition Overview:
Interior: Some scratches, marks, leather cracks and minor tears to upholstery and trim; window trim shows some sun fading (see photos).
Exterior: Minor panel dents and small areas of corrosion on chrome bumpers consistent with age (see photos).
A very late build, one of the last HDs produced. Presents as a rare and well-maintained example of Holden’s iconic HD X2 model — a significant piece of Australian motoring history.
