Why this car matters

The 1997 racing season at 1997 Primus 1000 Classic held at Mount Panorama Circuit marked a turbulent but memorable period in Australian touring-car history. The VS Commodore, driven under Hossack / Ellery’s entry lines, stands as a symbol of that era. This model preserves that legacy in 1:18 scale — giving you a detailed piece of racing history on your shelf.

How to use it

Display on your shelf, desk or inside a glass case. Open the bonnet, doors or boot to glimpse engine detail, cockpit layout, and undercarriage structure. It’s ready to show off straight out of the box — no tools needed. Thinking of expanding a motorsport or vintage-car collection? This VS Commodore makes a convincing centrepiece.

This is a die-cast model. It is fragile and not recommended for children.
