haha katsa. dunno bout that yet. I got to get around to doing something with it one day, got to many projects on the go. Is mine the only blue one in that colour? I know the rear boot spoiler is standard but is the le side skirts and bonnet thingy factory also? wish i could get hold of the original engine block? ovl87? i think from qld had it last i heard and sold it on? What year did you purchase the car vlt87? Cheers for the photos also

Don't think he sold it on mate, Im almost certain it's still the block that's in his sl that just went 9's last week at Willowbank You'd have to be pretty keen to pay cash to get the orig block back for it... but who knows with Andy, im sure if the price is right, anything is possible.

it's factory turbo and manual. the pics do look nice back in he day with the white simmons and the 16" aero's. It's one of my favorite colours that vl's came out with, which is mostly why i bought it. I havent done anything to it other that full buff it before i stored it. just been collecting engine and trim parts for it. I bought it 4 or so years ago from a bloke from adelaide hills who bought it off vlt87. it was missing race seats, wheels and steering wheel by the time i got it tho. So if anyone has a mint berlina interior in grey and 16" aero wheels let me know Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

William, Would have been lovely brand new. Who would have fitted the air damn in the late 80's?
