"
Monaro: Rebirth Of A Legend by Joshua Dowling is a richly illustrated and authoritative account of the return of one of Australia's most iconic performance cars. Published in 2003 to coincide with the modern revival of the Holden Monaro, the book traces the model's cultural significance from its late-1960s origins through to its dramatic re-emergence in the early 21st century. With a foreword by Peter Brock, the narrative is grounded in genuine motorsport heritage, lending weight and authenticity to the story of a car that captured the imagination of a nation.
Dowling explores the design, development, and marketing journey behind the reborn Monaro, drawing on insider perspectives, industry context, and the broader evolution of the Australian automotive landscape. From concept car to production reality, the book charts the challenges, risks, and triumphs that brought the Monaro back to life, supported by high-quality photography and detailed commentary. The inclusion of timelines, model histories, and references to Holden Special Vehicles adds further depth for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
This limited edition presentation, complete with dustjacket, elevates the work into a desirable collector's piece, particularly for those with an affinity for Australian motoring history. Combining visual appeal with engaging storytelling, Monaro: Rebirth Of A Legend stands as both a tribute to Holden's enduring legacy and a celebration of automotive passion, appealing especially to collectors of Australian motoring literature, Holden enthusiasts, and admirers of the Monaro marque."
