The LH Torana was a significant car for Holden on a number of levels. It was the first Australian designed and built mid-sized sedan, closer in size to the new HQ than the previous, smaller LC/LJ Toranas and better suited the local conditions as a result. The new LH also took on and ultimately defeated Ford at Bathurst. Well received by the critics and Australian public alike when launched in March 1974, the new Torana was available with an extensive choice of engine, transmission and trim levels, beginning with the 202-cid six cylinder engine and topped by the 308-cid V8 engine used as the basis of the Bathurst-winning L34 homologation specials.
