Last Limited Edition Commodores up for auction this Sunday

Manheim puts three of Holden's Limited Edition Commodores under the hammer.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you'll know Holden is wrapping up local production on the 20th of October and the brand has organised a Dream Cruise this Sunday to say thank you to its fans.

Another highlight of the day will be an auction of the last three Limited Edition Commodores, with the proceeds raising money for charity.

The Motorsport, celebrating the Commodore's success in racing.

The Holdens in question are the Director, the Motorsport and the Magnum ute which are all powered by a 6.2-litre V8 engine, connected to a six speed auto.

The Director is based on the Calais and takes its name from Peter Brock’s controversial HDT VL Director, which famously brought a temporary end to the late Peter Brock's relationship with Holden in 1987.

The Director, this time without the "Energy Polarizer'.

The Motorsport is based off the SS-V Redline and pays tribute to Holden’s long connection to the racing car scene.

Lastly, the SS ute-based Magnum gets its name from a product developed by HDT in 1983. While the name was mainly applied to WB Statesmans, three Magnum utes were also built.

All are described as the last Limited Edition Commodores, however the Director and Motorsport examples both sport #5 build plaques, while the Magnum wears #111.

Holden is aiming to raise $360,000 from the auction, of which the majority will benefit The Smith Family, while 50% of what is raised by the Director will be donated to Bev Brock’s charity of choice, The Lighthouse Foundation.
