Blue Thunder - Hello Mate!

The return of the Thunder nameplate coincides with the 60^th anniversary of the launch of the original 1951 Holden Ute.

Holden executive director of sales, John Elsworth, said the VE Series II Thunder range was designed to meet Australia’s growing demand for sports models in the utility segment.

“Over 60 years of production, the Holden ute has evolved from typical tradesman’s transport to two-door sports machine with a practical edge – that’s epitomised by the Thunder range”

“It is a really bold, tough-looking ute which we think will appeal to many of our traditional sports ute buyers. We’re expecting it to be an absolute winner in our showrooms.” Mr Elsworth said.
