Holden EH S4 Special Amberley Blue

The S4 sports model (the EH 225 179M-S4, to give it its official title) was Holden’s first ‘toe in the water’ exercise into production racing. Introduced in September 1963, was produced in small numbers (126) for use in motor sport, was the only version to combine the powerful 179 engine with three-speed manual transmission. In addition the enlarging of the fuel tank from 9 to 12 gallons and the addition of a PBR VH24 vacuum booster
to the brakes. This would make the EH S4 officially the first Holden with power brakes as standard equipment. People like Dick Johnson and Norm Beechy raced at speeds up to 110mph!

Item includes certificate and production number plate, mounted to the chassis.
