Classic car status / Historic vehicle registration previously established in Germany

Condition

Given its age, the vehicle is in remarkably good and largely original condition.

Particularly noteworthy is the minimal rust formation; there is virtually no significant rust damage visible on the exterior paintwork. A bodywork in such good condition is rare today among Australian vehicles of this vintage.

The Holden was driven about five years ago and subsequently stored in a dry garage; it has not been driven regularly since then.

The car does not currently start and is therefore expressly sold as not roadworthy.

As the vehicle was driven prior to its prolonged storage, a technical inspection or recommissioning is likely to be required. No guarantees are given regarding the cause or extent of any work required.

Documentation / History

Extensive documentation accompanies the vehicle, including:

German vehicle registration certificate (Zulassungsbescheinigung)

Documents relating to the previous German registration

TÜV inspection report

Customs clearance certificate from Kiel Customs Office

Further available vehicle records

The vehicle was therefore not simply imported; it had already been officially registered in Germany and was classified there as a historic vehicle (classic car).

Vehicle highlights

The Holden Kingswood is one of the classic Australian production cars from the Holden era and is extremely rare in Germany.

This vehicle is powered by a 4. 1-litre V8 engine (4, 146 ccm).

Sale

Due to its long period of inactivity, the vehicle is expressly being sold as a classic car not in running order – a project for restoration or bringing back to working order.

A viewing is strongly recommended. Given the rarity of the vehicle, we ask that you refrain from making unrealistic offers.

Private sale; liability for material defects is excluded. No guarantee, warranty or right of return. All information is provided to the best of my knowledge and based on available vehicle documentation.

The car is located in Germany; you are also welcome to write to me in German.

What makes this Holden Kingswood special to me is its exceptional originality and rarity. The 1969 HT Kingswood with the 253 V8 engine is a very rare sight in Europe. I particularly love its classic Australian style – with a long bonnet and plenty of chrome – as well as the wonderful colour combination of turquoise-blue paintwork, a white roof and a blue interior.

The car was registered as a classic car in Germany between 2018 and 2021. As it has been off the road for a long time, it is currently not roadworthy and is expressly offered in this condition. But that is precisely what makes it so appealing to me: it is not a stripped-down restoration project, but a largely complete classic car with a solid foundation, which the next owner can get back on the road.

What I like most is that owning this car means owning something unique – a vehicle you’ll hardly ever see a second time, even at classic car meets. A Holden Kingswood HT V8 is a real rarity in Germany, and that’s exactly what makes it special to me.

What makes this Holden Kingswood special to me is its exceptional originality and rarity. The 1969 HT Kingswood with the 253 V8 is extremely rare in Europe. I particularly like the classic Australian styling with its long bonnet, plenty of chrome and the beautiful colour combination of turquoise with a white roof and matching blue interior.

A particular highlight is the 4. 1-litre 253 V8 combined with the classic 3-speed steering-wheel gearbox. It is precisely this combination that captures the character of Australian cars of that era and clearly distinguishes the Kingswood from the American classics that are seen much more frequently in Europe.

Its condition is also remarkable. Despite being over 55 years old, the bodywork is very complete and in surprisingly good condition. The interior, too, still retains much of its original character.

The car was previously registered as a classic car in Germany from 2018 to 2021. Having stood for a long period, it is currently not roadworthy and is expressly offered in this condition. However, this is not a stripped-down restoration project, but a largely complete classic with a very good foundation, which the next owner can get back on the road.

What I particularly like about this Holden is that you’ll own a classic car that you’re unlikely to see a second time, even at major European classic car meets. A Holden Kingswood HT with a V8 is a real rarity in Germany – and it is precisely this rarity that makes it so special.
