As an authentic General Motors-Holden publication, it provides a comprehensive guide to the operation, maintenance, and care of one of Australia's most recognisable early-1980s vehicles. The handbook reflects the practical, user-focused design typical of Holden literature of the period, combining clear instructions with period photography and diagrams to assist owners in everyday use.\n              \u003c\/font\u003e\n             \u003c\/div\u003e\n             \u003cdiv\u003e\n              \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n               \u003cbr\u003e\n              \u003c\/font\u003e\n             \u003c\/div\u003e\n             \u003cdiv\u003e\n              \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n               Internally, the manual is well structured across key sections including vehicle familiarisation, driving operation, safety procedures, emergency handling, and scheduled servicing requirements. Of particular note is the inclusion of original dealership and ownership documentation, with stamped service records and delivery details dating to May 1983, offering valuable provenance and a direct connection to the vehicle's early life in Victoria. Such ephemera—often lost over time—adds a layer of authenticity and appeal for collectors, restorers, or enthusiasts seeking period-correct documentation to accompany a VH Commodore.\n              \u003c\/font\u003e\n             \u003c\/div\u003e\n             \u003cdiv\u003e\n              \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n               \u003cbr\u003e\n              \u003c\/font\u003e\n             \u003c\/div\u003e\n             \u003cdiv\u003e\n              \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n               Now over four decades old, this handbook stands as both a practical reference and a nostalgic piece of Australian automotive history, capturing the era of the VH Commodore and GMH's prominence in the local market. Original examples in complete, used condition with service records are increasingly scarce, particularly those retaining dealer stamps and ownership details. This example will appeal to Holden collectors, restorers of VH Commodores, and enthusiasts of Australian motoring memorabilia seeking an authentic and display-worthy piece.\"\n              \u003c\/font\u003e\n             \u003c\/div\u003e\n             \u003cdiv\u003e\n              \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n               \u003cbr\u003e\n              \u003c\/font\u003e\n             \u003c\/div\u003e\n             \u003cdiv\u003e\n              \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n               General wear and fading to covers as shown.
