lol sorry working saturdays has gotten to me

I dont believe that figure of 151801 VLs includes the rare items. The SL VL EXECUTIVES and CALAIS including turbo models and also Berlinas make up that production figure going by the book.

That figure would be all the VL's including the HDT and HSV cars as well as dealer packs etc. as it was a figure from Holden as to what they would have either sold or built ('built' includes those cars mentioned below). The only question would be whether or not the following were counted. The pilot vehilces (pre production test and evaluation), the spare parts body shells and some race car shells. Corsa

Corsa, u have a good point. Can anyone tell us for sure what was counted? And what the true total figure is? Also looks like production stopped in nov 88(not august,this is final sale date..they had to finish cars already ordered after then). i have these numbers from other sites grpa=500 aero=? corsa=12aprrox designer series=? director=9 (2 with irs)world test sandown wagon=1 calais wagon=200 calais l/e=? sport=150 mostly turbo bathurst=? mt panarama=1 nitron=? grp3=38 convertible 2 door=1 (in a museum.....bathhurst national motor ....i think) If any one has more info on these cars plz,pm me!

just to keep the info going .....it also looks like by the 6-86 they had run out of the remaining vk parts and started to use the late arriving vl parts that are referred to as series 2.can anyone give some credit to this info. cheers

57,000+ walkinshaw's were built .Do u reckon thats included?im guessing ...no! So that means.....production 151,801 +walkinshaw's 57,000=?(how many more made?)

a convertable two door wtf? anyone got pictures?????

a great mod....ha ha

^^ I'm doubting that 57,000 haha. I didn't realize there were only 250 Calais wagons. I've seen a ****heap one at greensborough plaza before

200 A9Y Calais Wagons built and a couple of earlier HDT Berlina converted ones. Corsa

Abit off topic but i'm interested in the convertible 2 door in the museum, does anyone have a picture of it? cheers...

The first couple of Walkinshaws were finished off by HSV in the first week of Jan 88. These cars came out of Holden in Dec 87. Corsa

it'd include all hsv/hdt vl's as all these vl's left the holden plant before being sent to hdt or the sv department for completion / modification. and yeah the walkinshaw figure you have there is way off. at that amount there would be more walkies than bt1s and calais! (assuming that the calais didn't make up more than a third of production which seems a justified assumption.)
