if it turns out to be genuine like it looks to be then may be worty buying to restore.. gonna need a bit of work.. interior looks pretty neat but..

Good buy for spares. Paint makes it look like it was stored outdoors at Chernobyl though.

Totals updated today. 58 all up in almost three years of searching. Not too bad so far. Still waiting on details on a couple though (Chloe still need details on your n/a if you still have it ). Also stumbled across a Car Australia mag from May 1988 on Ebay today which had a comparo between a Magna SE wagon, a Falgon GL wagon AND a Calais wagon. First I'd ever heard of this article so I'll post it up as soon as I get it. I wonder if there is someone on here that owns the test car ? I thought someone mentioned a while back that his may have been a review car. Could be this one. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ahh sorry craig.. i keep forgetting!! ive been so busy with the other one... ill make sure i do it asap.

how long have you been promising now chloe lol.. possible new one? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VL-CALAIS-STA...1%7C240%3A1318 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VL-CALAIS-STATIONWAGON-SII_W0QQitemZ120328250092QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item120328250092&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)

I've bought parts from them before so dropped them a line but haven't heard back. Still trying to work out whether it was a 3.0 or 5.0. I'm guessing the 6.0 in the description was a typo. Anyone own an n/a Calais wagon registered DJU-430 ? If so I've got a surprise coming later today when I can get to the scanner.

sweet so we got another one? and whats this surprise?

Model - VL8VL35-A9Y Body No. - 276333-A Trim - 15I Paint - Resprayed Built - Feb 88 Eng. - LF1 Trans. - ML4 original (now rb25 5 speed) Axle - GM3

Thanks very much 86. Another one up. What colour was it originally according to the tags ? I'm guessing blue yes ? Yours is 20 cars later (thats of all models down the line, not just wagons) than Chloe's turbo and they seemed to do the colours in batches. This is probably going to take a while to load as I couldn't make it readable any other way. If there's a problem with the size let me know and I'll take them off. Check the fuel economy of the Calais. My six litre VE wagon gets better mileage....around the city ! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
