TX
1975 - 1977
In 1975 GMH began the manufacture of the Gemini in Australia, and within a year of its release the little Gemini had become the most popular car on the market (no doubt helped by the low price tag and its being named Australian Car of the Year). | TC
1977 - 1978
The new model TC was, as could be expected after only 2 years, merely a facelift of the old model, however Holden decided to introduce some important handling options, such as a front stabilizer bar and steel belted radial tyres. The drive train however remained unchanged. | TD
1978 - 1979
The most noticeable visual change was the introduction of more attractive and up-market looking square headlights. The grille was, as always, changed again and now the little Gemini incorporated RTS (Radial Tuned Suspension) which was much heralded in its big brother, the Holden HZ. |
TE
1979 - 1982
The Gemini had now spanned the casm between the traditional large Holden HZ to the new smaller Commodore VB, and the styling changes reflected Holdens new visual identity, with the TE looking very much the little brother to the VB. | TF
1982 - 1983
Seven years since the introduction of the Gemini and it was time yeat again for another face lift. It was no surprise to learn that the new model TF had a raft of appointment upgrades over the old model, but there were to be very few mechanical upgrades. | TG
1983 - 1985
Picking a TF from the previous TG can prove difficult, as most improvements were simply by way of upgrades, such as standardising all models with the more upmarket SL/X seats, and each model (except the base model) receiving the previous models higher spec wheel trims |
RB
1985 - 1987
With the competition selling hatchbacks by the dozen, and the Gemini now only available in sedan form, GMH actively marketed the LB Astra hatch - which in it'self was another nail in the Gemini's coffin. |
