Peter Brock's sell-out success of the 1980 HDT VC Commodore was followed by the VH SS Brock Commodore released in 1982. Holden's SS Commodore, upon which the Brock version was developed was the perfect base to build a performance sedan that could compete with the best from Europe. Brock offered three versions of his VH SS upgrade starting with the Group 1 which featured dash identification, high capacity air cleaner with chrome lid, modified suspension, heavy duty master cylinder, 70 Series Uniroyal tyres, sports steering wheel and gear knob but no body or engine modifications. Wheels were the standard items as fitted to the base SS.

The VH Group 2 was the middle level car of the VH Brock series and featured all of the extras of the Group 1, but also received some extra modifications including blue printed cylinder heads, extractors, chromed rocker covers, gas flowed inlet manifold, front fender wind splitters, rear deck spoiler and Group 2 decals. The Group 3's Irmscher road wheels and additional body components could be optioned onto a Group 2 but were not standard fitment.

Only a handful of these cars were produced, initially in Maranello Red and later in Alabaster White as most buyers chose to opt for the full house Group 3. Finding one of these rare VH Brockies is not easy and Build No. 659 is an extremely well preserved example featuring the matching numbers 4.2 Litre HDT modified pushrod V8, the 4 barrel Rochester Carburettor, port matched inlet manifold and HDT Cold Air induction system with chrome air cleaner lid. The gearbox is the trusty M21 4 speed.

In totally original maintained condition, the Group 2 presents in excellent condition throughout and is unmodified other than the addition of the Simmons alloy wheels. Build No. 659 has covered a documented 226,402 Kilometres and is supplied with the original owners log books, manual, HDT build specification sheet and a HDT Verification certificate.

Certainly a rare Brock Commodore that has been well maintained and preserved. One of 34 Group 2s ever made and one of only 28 in Maranello Red.
