Probably has one of the nicest original interiors I've seen. I checked it out a few years ago. Exterior paint needs a little tlc but is very straight and original, and with optional sunvisor and Holden mats.

Pretty good buy for a HDT one. I'd bet they're actually rarer than A9Y's. Problem is nobody has any records. Quote: Originally Posted by Oliver [View Post] Here is the boot Car needs a massive clean but its in pretty good condition. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey Mate, is the dash the normal sandlewood colour, or is it a lighter colour? I have a HDT wagon, the problem I have is the dash is a lighter colour than sandlewood, but I do not know if its original or been painted... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The dash pad has faded on this one so I might replace it. Luckily my VLCT is Sandlewood interior too (plenty of spare bits). Happy to send you some photos, I wouldnt mind seeing the trim on the rear seat in your one... ---------- Post added 15-08-15 at 22:06 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by VLTWhite1 [View Post] Pretty good buy for a HDT one.

cool i love the hdt wagon better than an a9y any day. as long as it is verifiable. and in your case id say its so clean and untouched it has to be legit.

That's ok about the dash pics, I have a complete sandlewood setup as I thought it had been painted, and trying to put it back to orig. Yeah no worries about the seat, looks like yours from behind, and from the front looks like a early model VL Calais just for a wagon.

It's not an a9y matt I've got pics of the tags already it's an 87model so I'd say it's a hdt build
