The Holden EH is an automobile produced by General Motors-Holden in Australia from 1963 to 1965.
The EH was released in August 1963 replacing the Holden EJ series, and was the first Holden to incorporate the new “Red” engine, with a seven main bearing crankshaft instead of the four main bearing crankshaft used in the “Grey” engine.
At first, a larger capacity 149-cubic-inch (2,440 cc) engine was only sold attached to a three-speed manual gearbox or the “Hydramatic” four-stage automatic transmission with a column shift.
The Controlled Coupling Hydramatic used in the EH was actually a four-stage, although it effectively worked as a three-speed unit, except at full throttle.
The 179-cubic-inch (2,930 cc) engine was initially sold only with the “Hydramatic” transmission. The first EH with a 179-cubic-inch engine and a manual gear box was called the “EH-S4”.
This lovely EH Utility has had a restoration at some stage in its life, presenting beautifully with Rosebuck Pearl paint (Holden colour) and an interior re trim of a high standard.
Overall this is a fabulous EH Ute that is sure to please any collector or Motor Enthusiast to add to their club car fleet.
