MADILL Holden of Noosaville was the centre of attention last Saturday as three new Holden Walkinshaw models arrived at the dealership for display and test drive.
Graeme Steinohrt from Madills said the arrival of the cars is quite a coup.
“We are the first dealership outside Victoria to offer the cars for display and make them available for test drives,” he said.
“They are a powerful car and we have had lots of customers putting their names down to try them out.”
Greg and Debbie Waters from Maroochydore, took this red GTS based Walkinshaw 507 monster out for a spin on Saturday and were very impressed with its power and handling capability.
Noosa Car Club members were invited to the release of the cars and were treated to a tour of the dealership by Garth Madill.
“It was an enjoyable morning, with Garth entertaining members with stories from his family’s involvement with motor dealerships since the 1930s in Gympie,” Noosa Car Club president Malcolm King said.
