HOLDEN'S FIRST EXCLUSIVE ASTRA CONVERTIBLE

Strictly Limited Edition - 150 Units

Holden is using the 2004 Melbourne International Motor Show to unveil the company's first limited edition Astra Convertible.  It offers stand-alone style and added features for little extra cost.

This exclusive version of Australia's most popular soft top* offers the unique combination of China Blue metallic exterior finish and pale beige leather interior trim. 

Larger, 17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels set it further apart - as does the addition of Rear Park Assist to an already extensive standard equipment listing.  Both automatic and manual transmissions will be available.

Andrew Rau, Holden's Marketing Manager, Small and Medium Cars, said the special edition Astra Convertible offered consumers a unique opportunity.

"Astra Convertible is all about enjoying your motoring and expressing yourself.  This special edition lets you do that in no uncertain manner.  There will be no shortage of buyers waiting to get their hands on one," he said.

"Apart from exclusive looks and added features, the great attraction has to be the value represented here.   At a recommended $46,490 for the manual and $48,490 for the automatic, it is priced only $500 above the standard Astra Convertible".

The limited edition Holden Astra Convertible goes on sale in early March.
