Hmmm strange indeed. The Royal name is used for Export Holdens like in the SLE format or Caprice. Could have been a car made for NZ export but never sent anywhere.

They were all VC SL 4 cylinder autos, with 13" hubcaps....
NSW ones were issued with personalised black & white plates reading ER-####

I hadn't heard of them before either.
The reason for that is because there a 4cyl commodore.....
