What the story with the GTR-X did any actually get sold to the public? I know there is one in the National Motor Museum in Birdwood SA.
Holden gave out sales brochures for a car they never sold?
I have a sales brochure for the GTR-X and its in 'like new' condition, is it as rare a rocking horse ****? . . . dont know.

There used to be an orange Force 7 getting around Rosedale in Vic 12 years ago, so they were definitely built and sold.
Cheers,
Pete.
