I-HDT Commodore iphila futhi enguqulweni ye-VE
I-VC Commodore yasekuqaleni ayiklamele ithimba labathengisi be-Holden isidalwe kabusha njenge-VE Commodore ngenxa yabalandeli bakhe abakhulu.
U-Peter Champion, omunye wabangane abakhulu baka-Brock nomnikazi wezimoto zakhe zomjaho ezidumile ezingaphezu kuka-20, waqala iphrojekthi ye-retro VC futhi yashuba ngosizo lukaPatterson Cheney Holden waseMelbourne.
I-VC-retro-VE Commodores yokuqala isicishe isilungile futhi uChampion kulindeleke ukuthi aqambe abathengisi kwezinye izifundazwe uma sekuqalile ukukhiqizwa kwezimoto nezingxenye ze-HDT.
Le moto kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ku-$65,000 XNUMX, nakuba amanani okugcina ezingxenye ezihlanganisa izinsimbi zomzimba, amapayipi e-exhaust, i-suspension namabhuleki engakaphothulwa.
“Silandela uhlelo noPeter Champion. Wasebenzisa imali eningi ekwakheni ikhithi yomzimba, futhi ngacabanga ukuthi kukhona akuqondayo. Kufike enhliziyweni yami,” kusho u-Nick Batsialas, umphathi omusha wezimoto e-Patterson Cheney e-Vermont.
“Bengicabanga ukuthi abantu abaningi bangayithanda imoto enje. Bakhule beyazi imoto yokuqala futhi bafuna into efanayo."
Imoto ibukeka njenge-VC kaBrock yasekuqaleni ngenxa yekhithi yomzimba, i-HDT striping kanye namasondo angu-19 inch esitayela se-Irmsche.
Kodwa uBatsialas wayazi ukuthi udinga okwengeziwe futhi waya esitolo se-Autotechnique eVictoria ukuze akuthole.
“Besidinga iphasela obekumnandi ukushayela. Ngakho-ke i-Autotechnique yenze umsebenzi wokumiswa nokusebenza,” usho kanje.
“Baqhamuke nephasela elikwenza umamatheke ngisho uhamba ngesivinini esingaphansi kuka-100 km/h. Ibukeka njengemoto yomsipha."
Umsebenzi uhlanganisa i-exhaust eshelelayo kanye nokumiswa okuthuthukisiwe, futhi ngosizo lwe-Harrop Engineering, kuzoba nemishini eminingi enophawu lwe-HDT esikhathini esizayo.
Kuze kube manje, kune-VC-retro-VC Commodore eyodwa kuphela, kodwa i-Batsialas ikholelwa ukuthi kuzoba nesidingo esinamandla sayo.
“Sisanda kuqeda imoto yethu yokuqala. Isanda kukhululwa. Sesinabo abantu abazimisele ngokuyithola le moto ngokushesha uma isihambisana nokulungiswa kwangaphakathi,” usho kanje.
“Sisanda kuqala. Kodwa sinesithakazelo esikhulu.
“Sicabanga ukuthi imoto izobiza u-$65,000.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi ngingadayisa izimoto ezine noma ezinhlanu ngenyanga. Kodwa izokwakhiwa ngokufunwa. Futhi asihlele ukweqa izimoto ezingama-500, okuhambisana nokwaqalwa kwe-VC.”
I-retro VC isekelwe ku-SS-V Commodore sedan yesimanje, futhi u-Batsialas uthi izinkinga zokuqala nge-GM Holden ziye zanqotshwa ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngokungqubuzana ne-Holden Special Vehicles.
Uthi: “Kwakubuhlungu, kodwa sadlula.
“Sinikezwe indondo yeVictorian kanti uPeter Champion uxoxisana nezinye izifundazwe. Sinomlando omuhle e-Patterson Cheney nge-hot Holdens futhi sisize u-Brocky ukuwuqala.
“Siphinde sakha nolayini womkhiqizo weHDT ukuze abantu bakwazi ukuthenga amabhuleki, ukumiswa noma yini. Lokhu yinto abathengisi be-Holden ababengenayo ngoba abantu abaningi abalidingi iphakheji eligcwele le-HSV. "
