In 1974 the six-cylinder LJ Torana was replaced by the new body six and eight cylinder LH Torana (Ford Cortina sized) series. To fill in time before the March 1975 release of the four cylinder Holden Gemini GM world T-car, the short wheelbase 4-cylinder (1.2L, 1.8L) LJ models were given a basic facelift incorporating a body colour plastic moulded front grille assembly and revamped rear light lenses. This car was released in February 1974, in both two and four door forms on the Australian market only, as the TA Torana.
