EH Holden Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

One of the most recognisable and well-loved Australian family cars of last century, perhaps behind only the Holden HQ Kingswood and Ford XY Falcon, the EH Holden was produced in units more than 250,000 strong in its two-year production run between 1963 and 1965.

It introduced Holden’s long-lived ‘red motor’ inline six-cylinder engine, in 2.4- or 2.9-litre capacity, and came in body styles ranging from sedan to wagon to ute to panel van - also coming in numerous trim levels: Standard, Special and Premier.

The line-up currently starts at POA for the EH Premier and ranges through to POA for the range-topping EH Premier.

Holden EH Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Holden EH here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Classics are just for fun

    IT IS worth buying and restoring a classic car only for the fun of it. The high cost of restoration means it's difficult to make money out of selling it later, but you might cover your costs if you can do the restoration work yourself. Buy the best car possible because it will take much less time, effort and money to restore than a more decrepit vehicle would need, and the end result will be better. The EH is a great classic car. It's simple to restore and there are lots of parts available. Rare models are worth more, so an EH Premier is the best to buy. Other cars to think about are an HK, HT, HG Monaro, LC, LJ Torana, and GT Falcon.
