Thanks for posting the pics Nick. There are some handy ute dimensions and layout pictures there. I wonder why motor is shown as red and not grey?

Hi
I believe it’s an original going by the quality of printing and paper

For what it is worth at least 10 years ago I paid $60 for a sedan (original) one in very good condition.
I have a "commercial" one (panelvan) (original) in excellent condition which someone gave me.
Has it got a holden dealers stamp on the front of it?
There are recent reproductions out there :(
The motor is always red in these brochures

Your brochure is original.
The knock off guy does a good job if you only want a reference brochure but the one you have is definitely the real deal. It shows normal edge 'wear' and handling marks but most importantly the staples are round wire and greyed by years of exposure. I'm yet to find if the old staples were cad or zinc plated but old mate only uses modern rectangular section ones.
I am happy to buy ones with dealer stamps given the historic connection (and the fact that the knock offs are 'clean covers') or genuine un-stamped. Another thing I don't get spooked by is a bit of writing inside with prices or notations if the brochures are not already in my collection but your is very clean.
Lot's of rubbish out there but yours is a good one and well worth keeping.
I'd value it between $80 to perhaps $140+ if the there aren't any splits along the outer cover spine.
I'm a Holden / GMH collector not a dealer so it's just my two bobs worth and hope it helps you.
Cheers
