Hi Darryl, thanks for the feedback, I also have a VR & VS and love them both.. some of these beasts can sound like a race car 🙂, live on the Iron Lion.. for me VN to VS are so much fun, especially the V8… I love myself a Berlina, VN Berlina was my first car.. I also have a VR brochure series as well as VN & VP on the channel.. be good to have a Berlina on the channel someday soon.

I have an April 95 VS Executive 5.0 manual. It was originally ordered and owned by a factory worker. Maranello Red, dual airbags, central locking, electric mirrors, manual windows, ABS, LSD, 80l fuel tank, 15 x 7jj steel wheels, Executive wheel covers, standard suspension, SS interior.

Sounds like a great combo like a BT1, bet you love it. The factory worker prob wanted all those specs. How rare in Red.. I used to know someone who had a BT1 brand new because Holden made a mistake with NSW orders so they had a surplus and sold them direct to the public..

@GTZ05 it was well known that factory worker cars got special treatment down the line including a few runs through the paint shop. It's paint is still in excellent condition which says a lot given how badly red copes with our weather and sun. I was a bit sceptical about the car at first, but I had Holden run its VIN and its fair dinkum. Back in the day I owned a VN BT1 1990-94 and bought a VR SS manual new in Aug 94. The VS runs beautifully and is a pleasure to drive.

Nice, I have a 1998 VS SS Ute, beautiful condition. I’ve had a few VP VS over the years but I won’t be letting my Ute go. I’d like to see a video on the HSV and SS Utes, thanks

I remember when I saw my first one when they were new, I thought they did a good job giving the VS a new look, all in VT Colours, no more side moulds in red and was in line with the VT SS.. I wouldn’t let it go either, hold onto it..

During the run of VS series 2 Holden released the ‘Esteem’ which was simply an exec with power windows & air bag. The two stage key unlock could be deactivated.

Yeah it came out in March 1997, had mags also, guess the extras helped sell a few more cars, I have the advertisement for it towards the end of the video..

@@SheepyYeen def based on it going back to the late 80s when they rolled out the VN, but in VR VS looks less like them than the VN did.

I had the clone to the VS Calais being a VS lexcen newport which at the time was more better equipped being that it had leather as standard fitment
@GTZ052 ай бұрын
Very nice, the Lexens always had a few extra bits standard, even from the VN Model… hope it served you well, you never see them anymore…
