This original 1986 Holden Camira Australian Sales Brochure, issued by General Motors-Holden's Sales Pty Ltd, presents the updated JB-series Camira range with bold mid-1980s styling and a strong focus on technological advancement. The dramatic cover imagery and confident tagline, "There's nothing like it," reflect Holden's push to reposition Camira as a modern, sophisticated front-wheel-drive family car. For 1986, electronic fuel injection became a key selling point, highlighted throughout the brochure as standard across much of the sedan and wagon lineup.
Inside, the brochure details the 1.8-litre overhead cam four-cylinder engine with Electronic Fuel Injection and integrated Engine Management System, producing 62.8kW (DIN) and 132.5Nm of torque. The text emphasises improved cold starting, smoother performance and fuel efficiency, along with reduced maintenance compared to carburetted engines. Specifications cover 4- and 5-speed manual transmissions and a 3-speed automatic, front-wheel drive layout, MacPherson strut front suspension, rear trailing arm suspension, power-assisted steering (on higher models), and generous luggage capacity — 402 litres for the sedan and up to 1038 litres for the wagon with rear seats folded.
Trim levels including SL, SL/X, Executive and SL/E are outlined, with features such as comprehensive instrumentation, trip computer, air conditioning, metallic paint and alloy wheels available depending on variant. With references to Australia's America's Cup campaign and Holden's national branding, the brochure captures a distinctive moment in mid-1980s Australian motoring history. An appealing piece of GMH ephemera, ideal for Holden collectors, Camira owners, and enthusiasts of Australia's front-wheel-drive automotive era."
