hey guys will go unrap it in afew hours when i get home just so u kno i dont feel its up to ur standards i found it in a padoc cheast high in grass got it for 50 bucks motor was sposed to be ****ed got it on a trailer took it to a makes shead changed the cas changed the fuel put sum power on it and the bloudy thing started i looked at the plates found out it wa a calais wagon i thought it was a moc up not noing much about the calais wagons but i was gonna strip it for its insides and motor and box for an exect wagon i had at the time but never did as 88 wagon confirmed for me it is a asteroid silver calais turbo wagon 5 speed and ive honestly never done much to it but wash it and start it every once in a while its in abit of a state was never looked after and when i find time il restor it and clean it and take sum pics was gonna polish the wheels but that will make it less og

Thanks turbokid. I'm looking forward to the photo's. We're not looking for cars that are in any way pristine here, just any A9Y wagon. It can be a farm wreck, a burnt out shell, a show car, doesn't matter just so long as it has the A9Y plate. You can't argue with paying just $50 for it.

I'd completely forgotten about Car Australia mag and had never seen the article either, just stumbled across a copy on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. Makes sense they bag the VL here as the other two are much newer designs and the VN was just around the corner but how much better does the Calais wagon look compared to the other two !! It's another one for the list anyway. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well there you go an asteroid silver one to add to the list good thing i inquired then lol..

does anyone know how many we're up to?

I have included a scan of the book, Is it possible that someone has written the wrong rego in the book and this is my wagon in that magazine article getting flogged?

thats very close rego to the one above DJU430 and DJU730

Could be VP. Maybe it's a weird 4 or a misquoted rego in the book (happens all the time). I'm not sure how plates are allocated in VIC but I know dealers here get allocated batches of them with consecutive numbers so maybe Holden did/does too. Allocating 300 plates for Holden to register cars for themselves sounds like way too many in the three months they took building these things. With DJU-430 being the only recorded press test car in a time when everything was in print, and from a batch of only 200 cars, sounds too close for coincidence. I'd put money down on it being the same car. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I've barely used or touched the car since i bought it so have been through the glove box again and no other things with the original Rego. There are a few pieces of paper though from it being a test vehicle like blank evaluation forms. If anybody has any ideas on tracking the original Rego please let me know.

I don't know if you have it yet but i'll post anyway... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VL-Calais-Wag...1%7C240%3A1318 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VL-Calais-Wagon-1-of-200-Ever-Made_W0QQitemZ110317302586QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Cars?hash=item110317302586&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A1%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318)

Already listed. Thanks though. It's handy keeping track of their movements as they pop up again for sale. This one was listed on Ebay by the same person back in September.
