Mine had a few errors: 8K196GL251310 I was sold the car as being a berlina, this says otherwise, also the diff was said to be LSD, tag suggests otherwise going by the diff tag thread. Just tried again: Division: Holden Luxury Level: Commodore SL (Sold to me as a Berlina, GRRRRR) Oh well. Body Shape:: Sedan Engine: 3.0E (Non Turbo) Year: 1987 Plant: Adelaide Serial Number: 51310

I suspected that something MAY have been wrong with yours. It just didn't look untouched and remember my post about that badge on the RHS of the bootlid? Badge just not where it should have been, merely put there by someone after converting to turbo
