They came in L, SL, SL/E trim levels.
The engines were “Blue” motors, which was simply a slightly more environmentally friendly version (via ****ty emission controls) of the old “Red” motor, commonly found in HQ-HZ Holdens and some Torana’s.
There were a few capacities available from memory-2.85l, 3.3l in-line 6x y l, and perhaps both a 4.2l and 5.0l V8 options?
There was also a Royale model released, which had a Starfire (commonly referred to as a Misfire) four cylinder.
That model also released a Brock model (named after our famous Peter Brock-look him up), which was available in White, Red and Black. At release they were $21,990 if I recall correctly.?
Hope that helps?

Thanks for the info! The time line seems about right, I got the model in the mid-80's.
Does anyone know more about the model itself: Is it a dealer promo? Handout at an auto show? Toy store purchase?
Thanks again,
