Hey Guys and Girls, This is my 1986 White VL Calais N/A with a red interior. It is in very good condition with tiny bits of surface rust on the rear left door and most of the factory electrics still working (the master power window switch for the rear left door doesnt work). The red Interior is also in good nick though faded a little here and there. I plan to respray her (white), re-colour the interior, add a new head unit + subby's, polish up the rims and keeping it looking nice and stock. Also just keep everything in good working order. If i have the cash when im off my P's (if i get them) a turbo is looking pretty good. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The headrests are part of the "Formula" series of Dress-up items offered by dealers, similar to what HoldenByDesign does now.

Dunno mate, the K's on the speedo go like a taxi meter! Getting it fixed soon, ill try and check the service book for you tomorow and see how it had when it was last serviced. would the VIN number have anything about the headrests on it or were they just slapped on and not noted?
