Yea it ran standard boost with a boost tap to 10psi. Didn't have it long enough to put a cooler on it. It was for sale for $15k when I looked at it back years ago. I ended up paying $7.5k for it. Traded it and $8k for Tony Hines Minitruck. Bagged it and sold it to a guy down south for $26k. Good old days. Lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

another one to the list Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nice going guys. Strange that you'd end up with a couple of the very earliest Melbourne built turbo's. 101247M and 102726M are the earliest I've come across.

lol awesome and mine is the earliest :-P. Imported into NZ in 1996

i bet that blue calais Nzer is talking about is jo's one from the hawkes bay cruise remember guys? with the funny tags.

At the very bottom of the NZ Forum, months ago Craig posted some old photo's of car's he had owned...One of them was a Genuine White VLCT. http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=nl8871 Not sure if that's 1 of the 2 Calais' you have listed or not already Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I updated the carjam page last night and it says that the car has got an exemption licence which means its most likely still around but like you say probably not being used Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
