What a beautiful original VN .. I love the original wheel caps. . Wish they would make cars like this again . Glad you are saving it . Watching from Brisbane 👍👍

[@commodoreman1]

Thank you mate!

Keep it stock, fix the paint. Unbreakable Holdens just go when others don't.

Interior colour is Palmino, relatively common back in the day, not so much now.

G'day mate I have had a VN Calais as a project for years now, nearly finished, was grubby and not loved. Reason for persisting with it is because it has unusual options like no cruise, no climate, 5.0l and manual transmission all verified through Holden, been interesting. Great to watch you play with your cars, keep it up. :)

Got the same colour interior colour in both my VN wagon’s and my old VQ statesman.

This mate of yours with a lot of VN's, if he is looking to move any in the next year or so I am still on the hunt for a 5L to do an Aero build with or a super straight roller to build something wild from. Also, do you have a discord or something where people can swap stories/ride details/sale info etc? You have a passionate comments section it seems! Would love to see people's projects.

Sadly, the days of getting a cheap complete parts car to help with a resto are long gone for the VN (it was about 5 years back that donor VPs were hard to find) so getting a project car that’s as close as possible to complete, and in restorable or good condition, is very important these days. I’m fortunate that I owned my VS2 Calais for so long, and kept it maintained, so a future restoration will really only be paint and a mechanical refresh. Interior is still mint.

It should be illegal to send any Australian car to the crushers now! Restored, they will command big coin one day. People ought to think ahead.
