true except even though the number plates suggest '88 model it doesn't appear to be an '88 calais, think it's an '86 SI

someone knows their stuff
a mate pxt me some pics of wat i think is the yellow BT1 with the Chrome AME's, the one which was on the cruise in feb. on the back of a tow truck coming out of a panel shop heading towards sutho. i "think" it might have been coming from bellevue bodyworks??
looks like in one of the pics that its missing the front left guard.
was the car in an aco or getting resprayed??

Bingo.
Yes it's a series 1, but I highly doubt it's not a genuine calais, I checked it out whilst trying not to look like a car thief and I didn't see anything that would suggest its not a calais.
Why did you think that Jack?

If it's a fake calais meaning it has an exec interior or berlina how can you tell whether that is an 86 exec interior? Calais i understand but it's not a real calais so with the original interior i thought they were the same in non calais from 86-88 apart from the vinyl or cloth difference accross the top of the back seat?

no mate evan execs have series1 an series2 interior an berlinas same as goes for calais, series1 exec has box headrests with plain material an series2 exec has more rounder type headrest an smaller with difrrent material aswell more softer an nicer same goes with berlina but material is the same just headrests are diffrent and im sure your all know the diffrence between series1 an 2 calais.
