On today’s episode of Aussie Garage, we take a deep dive into one of the most incredible private collections of Holden memorabilia we’ve ever seen—Graham’s man cave. This space is absolutely overwhelming, packed wall-to-wall with Holden history, passion, and nostalgia.
Graham’s connection to Holden runs deep, having worked for the company for decades. His love for the brand began at an early age, inspired by his parents, Tony and June, who restored old Holdens when he was a kid. As you saw in our last episode, his parents assembled Geoff’s stunning 327 HK Holden Monaro GTS Coupe – Bathurst Edition, one of the best examples we’ve come across. With Holden in the family’s blood, it’s no surprise that Graham’s collection has grown into the masterpiece it is today.
A Collection Like No Other
Stepping into Graham’s man cave is like stepping into a Holden time capsule. From vintage signage to model cars, watches, and even rare promotional materials, this collection has it all. One of the standout displays is a cabinet filled with new old stock, all in their original packaging. Badges, bonnet ornaments, spark plugs—you name it, he has it. It’s mind-blowing to think that some of these items are up to 75 years old and have never been fitted to a car.
One of the most unique pieces Graham showed us was a vintage HK Holden training kit that was sent out to salespeople before the digital age. This kit included a vinyl record detailing the HK story, along with film strips designed to educate sales teams and help them sell more cars.
Every inch of the space is covered in Holden treasures—flags hanging from the ceiling, bar stools, posters, and anything with a Holden logo. Over the years, word got around about Graham’s collection, and people started contributing, bringing him rare finds they came across. Among the most extraordinary pieces are bricks and bolts salvaged from the old Holden factory in Adelaide after it was demolished.
Priceless Holden Relics
One of Graham’s most prized possessions is a rear quarter panel from Peter Brock’s Commodore, which he backed into the wall during the Top 10 Shootout. A mate of his managed to acquire it from the TAFE team that repaired the car, making it a truly one-of-a-kind addition to his collection.
Beyond the vintage memorabilia, Graham also owns a modern Holden—his Craig Lowndes Special Edition Commodore. Even though it’s over ten years old, it has low kilometers and remains in pristine condition, just as it was when he first purchased it.
A True Holden Family
What makes this collection even more special is that the entire family shares Graham’s passion for Holden. It’s not just about the cars or the memorabilia—it’s about the heritage, the memories, and the legacy of one of Australia’s most beloved automotive brands.
We hope you enjoyed exploring Graham’s incredible Holden collection as much as we did. His dedication and passion for the brand are truly inspiring, and his man cave is a dream come true for any Holden enthusiast.
