Holden does not build many cars like the Holden Gemini: a 2-door coupe / 3-door panel van / 3-door station wagon / 4-door sedan with 1584 , built from 1975 to 1987 as the oil crises and the first emissions rules rewired the industry.
The story
The Holden Gemini is a compact car that was produced by Holden and sold in Australia from 1975 to 1987. It was based on the Japanese Isuzu Gemini, one of the many models based on the GM T-car platform.
What is underneath
Under the skin sits 1584 other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 956 kg. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual / 4-speed manual / 3-speed automatic. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2404 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Holden's history is not in doubt: it was built at Brisbane, Queensland (Acacia Ridge), Australia. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Volkswagen Polo, the Hyundai Pony, the BMW 3 Series. Nearby in the Holden catalogue sit the Holden 48-215 and the Holden Adventra.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Holden Gemini has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
