Dubbed by Holden as ‘The Commodore Collection’, three of the last vehicles to roll off the Elizabeth plant line will be auctioned off to the public for charity.
All special editions, the funds raised from the sales will go to charity The Smith Family, and will support 55 local scholarships for disadvantaged kids.
The three cars are a Director, build number #5, a Commodore Motorsport, also #5, and a Magnum Ute which bears #111.
“We have seen the valuable work The Smith Family does in supporting – and nurturing – the education of disadvantaged young Australians right across the country,” says Holden manufacturing director Richard Phillips.
“So we’ve created this major fundraising opportunity as a terrific way for us to say ‘thank you’ to South Australian families for supporting us for so many years, and allow us to continue to share in supporting some local families and children in need.”
Half of the funds raised by the Director will, however, go to the Lighthouse Foundation charity as nominated by Bev Brock due to late husband Peter Brock’s association with the badge.
Registration for the auction closes at 5pm Saturday October 14, and the auction follows on Sunday October 15 at 3pm ACDT (for South Australia), or 3.30pm for those on AEDT (VIC, NSW, ACT and TAS).
