This car is a super investment for the future– rare, unique and as an Australian made V8 coupe it is becoming extremely sought after and hard to find.
It was a semi-commercially produced car but only 97 made, and only 25 Mark I.
The design was based on the iconic C3 corvette shape in the 70’s and was built on a Holden HJ panelvan chassis.
It had the advantage of rear seats and a boot, making it alot more useable than the C3.
The suspension was also superior to the C3 and gave the perentti better handling and cornering. The C3 only had a single assembly leaf spring from left to right.

PAINT looks good enough to still turn heads like no other!
However it is not a show car and there are areas of crazing of varying degrees and some small chips, touch-ups etc. It still looks amazing from a couple metres away and is still a stunning car to have as a daily driver or cruiser to enjoy and drive a real headturner.
