Its combination of a brand-new, more powerful engine, smart styling updates, and an affordable price tag of just $2,102 made it unbeatable value for money. The EH’s instant popularity cemented its reputation as Australia’s fastest-selling car ever.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs338A614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csD7FA1CB\"\u003eAt its heart was the all-new “red engine”, available in both 149 and 179 versions. Compared to the older “grey engine,” the red delivered up to 50% more power, while being smoother, more efficient, and longer lasting. In fact, many EHs easily exceeded 130,000km before requiring major servicing, outclassing competitors of the time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs338A614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csD7FA1CB\"\u003eThe EH range was extensive, with 24 variants across five models – the Standard, Special, Premier, Coupe Utility, and Panel Van. For the first time, buyers could also enjoy the luxury of the Premier Station Wagon. Holden even dipped into motorsport with the EH S4 sports model, produced in limited numbers (just 126 built). Fitted with the powerful 179 engine and manual transmission, the S4 reached speeds of up to 110mph in the hands of racing greats like Dick Johnson and Norm Beechey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs338A614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"csD7FA1CB\"\u003eWhether for everyday driving, towing (a growing pastime of the 1960s), or modification, the EH appealed to Australians from all walks of life.
