In stock colours no matter the colour, the calais wins! (Except maybe for absynith yellow, I like the colours not just what it represents) Having said that, I'd take the berlina over a S/L anyday - just the small differences over the S/L and the options you could get with them make them so much better.

No that would be going much to far, then people would even start bitching to include wagons even. Leave it as is, only thing is I think BT1 and S/L should be under the same option.

Im quite satisfied with my Exec, but i'd take a Berlina with all power options anyday. Im yet to own a Calais so I cant really judge that far. My vote goes for the Berlina's! Pin stripe = pimpin' One thing I cant stand is the light blue/green colour that some Berlina interiors are though, worst colour known to man kind.

Leave it as is, only thing is I think BT1 and S/L should be under the same option. a lot of people saying that but i think a SL and BT are completly different ... i mean a mean BT1 goes for as much as a calais + a mean SL doesnt really comand much $$ ..... its the whole yellow thing i recon .... cant think of anything else, and was a cop car at one stage ..... but there def not part of SL in my books

Say, you have two identical S/L's, every last detail, the only difference is one say's BT-1 on the tags - the other one has been mocked up to look the same. Which is worth more, and why? And before everyone says "zOMG because theyre yellow bro" lets just say theyre both white. Is a stock VLT really worth that much more just because it says "BT-1' on the tags?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder the original bt1 would be worth more than a mock up cos of the fact that its an original bt1 n not a mock up it's like xy gt ho ph3's , replica's are only worth aroung 30g i thinks, but then an original 1 is worth 600g Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Let's say your comparing a mockup walkenshaw to a origional one - then that applies. BT-1's are S/L's, just optioned. It's like any car, depending on what options you get, say automatic transmission, it's corresponded on the tags in your engine bay. Just like how it says BT-1.

BT1 for me, i have or have had many models of VL incl genuine Walky and the BT1 is just straightforward and business-like, no pretence, no electrical issues it's just a "purpose built" VLT

I knew the difference between series 1 and 2 in the calais wasn't HUGE!!! Don't forget the F20 HSV's if you want to cover every incarnation of the VL.
