Description
A collection of two of the best-selling motoring books published, Holden versus Ford and Holden. Both books are packaged together for the first time.
Holden versus Ford, Ford versus Holden, Red versus Blue, Blue versus Red, even the order in which you say these two precious words marks you for life as to which side of the white line you drive on.
Holden captures the essence of these three great cars — Commodore, Torana and Monaro, their muscle, their romance, their engineering — as well as their glory days round the Bathurst roads.
Going straight to the heart of what it means to be Australian, this special car bind is a must-have addition to any Ford or Holden lover’s bookshelf. Loyalty, faith, competition, love – is expressed through two brands of motor car.
