I had one I brought off cslfly he might have pics of it was all single tone all black from factory

That would a awesome one to pick up look good sitting next to my Calais turbo wagon wonder if it's genuine a9y or HDT spec?

Plenty of black VL's out there, but getting the factory ones confirmed is the hard part. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Model - vl8vx19 - 324 body - 233694 - a trim - 15i paint - 1k001 - d build - feb 87 Going on the info listed in post 1 and my calais being another one seems like 2/87 seemed to the bunch of black vls

Thanks for that. Proves that HDT's 233695 was factory black, not repainted by HDT, going on the number sequence. Exactly what I was hoping to unearth. ---------- Post added 19-09-12 at 10:30 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Pistol [View Post] Mine's factory black too, I'll post up details tomorrow..
