My old vl had a self drive mode straight to the kebab shop. I wasnt even angry, great feature 😂

Offically There is no such thing as a s1 or a s2, it was updated parts that were fitted on the production line when they were built

I once had a 1987 VL Berlina Turbo with a NAS code on the body plate indicating that it was made for a NASCAR shell.

@@lukie246 I sold the car in 1990, and I can't remember all the details of the plate. It was written off when it was a dealer demo at a Holden dealer in Belconnen ACT. They bought a new shell and rebuilt the car. I was the 3rd owner in 1988.

Yeh so I found out that a nasco shell is a completely new shell and all the old parts of the first car where transferred over so it’s a legal numbers job

@@motorfools I have never seen or heard of an 85 Vl ... Vk was 85 but I'm no expert. Yes ya said some 88 I was just saying there'd be heaps of 88s around as mines like July or something of 88 but never ever seen an 85 .. my father has an early vl even on 14s and it is an 86.

These tags say this calais is NOT a factory turbo. Engine LF1 = RB30E LW5 = RB30ET Trans MS1 - turbo auto ML4- na auto ……. But this is a good earliest example 1985, as the offical run is 86 to 88, and Everglades green is amazing rare colour.

@jamesglaskin9981 those tags were to show 1985 not turbo calais?

Has it got the build sheet under the passenger carpet?

@motorfools 7 ай бұрын

Unfortunately when they built this car they put it under drivers carpet. It's there but unreadable. I've heard sometimes a second one is in the roof. But haven't checked yet.

@@motorfools 😂😂 I say it like I'm gonna buy it haha. Only mentioned it coz u were mentioning the fake tags and stamps etc. The build sheet is a frameable ornament of the car. But great car bud
